, Jumper d 17 3 ', a s written en %;ust 31, 19S0 to snatall the temporary solution presented in the Engineering Work Request. The Supervisor of Engineering Services performed the Safety Evaluation on August 21, i

1980 prior to implementing this jumper. Engineering personnel worked

closely with members of the SNSOC on August 21, 1980 concerning this

! problem. SNSCC members were fully ccgnicant of and in agreement

, concerning the plant modifications thst were to be performed. ,

Hewever, the SNSCC did not formally appreve the Safety Evaluation j

and include the change in SNSOC meeting minutes until August 23, 1980.

l The SNSOC is fully aware that they shall review all proposed changes j or codifications to plant systems or equipment that affect nuclear

! safety.

2. Corrective action tahan to avoid further noncompliance:

i l

! We have reviewed exfsting administrative controls concerning changes '

l or modifications to plant systems or equipment and have determined j that they adequately address the requirements for review by the SNSOC. Members of the SNSOC are fully aware of this infraction and g of the requirement that safety evaluations be approved prior to

installation of safety related jumper log additions. Also, Cpera-I tions personnel responsible for making additions to the jumper log l are aware of this requirement and shall not add entries to the jumper j log without SNSOC approval for safety related equipment, j 3.

c,vam:r We do not agree with the in f ra c ticu as stated. In the preparation of procedures which reference a technical manual it is the responsibility of the preparer and his supervisor to ensure that the manual specified is appropriate for use in the procedurcs. When the procedure is presented i for SNSOC approval, the individual presenting the procedure discusses the f basis .:o r the procedure, the reference docu. rents, and '.he specifics of 8

i the maintenance process. Therefore, the SNSOC does approve the use of ,

referenced technical manuals, although this is not explicitly recorded in the neeting minutes This has been cur practice in the past, and done in (

the case cited, and will be our practice in the future.

Administrative controls already exist which, when fully implemented, will  ;

e ris ure that all technical manuals used by maintenance personnel are +

complete and up to date. This pro; gram has not been fully implemented at -!

this time due to manpower constraints and the 'ie ry large nuinbe r ci .

k.e will review the extsting program, revise it manuals involved.

improvements are needed, and complete implementatien by January 1, 1982.
