Dallas, Texas 75201  !

Gentlemen:

We have reviewed your letter of January 29, 1985, in response to our letter and

Notice of Violation dated December 31, 1984. Your reply adequately addressed l

the specific concerns raised regarding-Item A. We have reviewed the procedure

changes delineated in your response and the requirements for sway strut and

snubber installation and find them acceptable. The generic aspects of the '

findings were not adequately addressed in your response to our Notice of

Violation Item A, as required by 10 CFR 2.201; however, we understand that the

generic' aspects of sway strut and snubber installation will be addressed by the

Comanche Peak Response Team (CPRT) Program Plan.

With respect to Item B, we find that you have taken adequate corrective action

to assure reporting items to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 50.55(e). We will

review the implementation of your corrective actions for Item B during a-

future inspection to determine that full compliance has been achieved. and will

be maintained.

However, with regard to Item B.-1, specifically, additional information is

required because at the time the Notice of Violation was written, the associated 1

nonconformance report (NCR) had been closed without reference made to action

being taken to determine how the apparent falsification of records had occurred -

and to determine if this apparent falsification was an isolated occurrence.

Your additional response should discuss the following matters:

Basis' for the statement that the apparent falsification was determined to

be an isolated instance

l

basis for the statement that the inspection had, in fact, been performed  ;

by another inspector; [

i

basis for the statement that corrective measures were taken to prevent j

recurrence; and j

measures completed or planned to ensure this apparent falsification was

not an attempt to deliberately mislead.

Please provide the additional information requested regarding the apparent

falsification of records within 30 days of the date of this letter.

Further, with regard to your response to the Notice of Violation, Item B.2,

the fact the design oversight (revision to instrument ranges and setpoints)

would likely be detected during subsequent testing or operations, does not

alter the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.55(e).

Sincerely,
