Subject:

Response to Notice of Violation Gentlemen:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201, this constitutes our response to the Notice of Violation contained in Appendix A of Reference (b).

Notice of Violation Technical Specification 5.4, " Training" states "A retraining ... program for the facility staff shall be maintained under the direction of the Plant Manager (sic) and shall meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Section 5.5 of ANSI N18.1-1971 and Appendix "A" of 10 CFR Part 55."

License Procedure No. 7.211, " Chemistry Section Training" states that

" Personnel shall receive retraining at least annually (once per calendar year), a record of which shall be maintained in the individuals Chemistry training record...."

Contrary to the above, two Chemistry Technicians have not been retrained annually as required. The Technicians were last trained in January 1984.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).

Maine Yankee Response:

(1) Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and Results Achieved:

In accordance with Procedure 7.211, Chemistry Section Training, the two Chemistry technicians who had not received retraining as identified in Reference (b) successfully completed the required retraining. 8601130315 860102 6900L-SDE ADOCK O 309 y)O p ()
