with these instructions, procedures, or drawings" and as implemented

by the Nuclear Power Station Quality Assurance

Manual (NPSQAM), Section 2 (QA Program), "Design Changes must be processed

and evaluated

using the procedures

of NPSQAM, Section 3. Contrary to the above, on September

21, 1979, a design change was made to the starting circuit of a Safety Class I emergency

diesel fire pump engine without a design change request being submitted

The non-compliance

is correct as stated. 1.) Corrective

steps which have been taken and results achieved:

The starting circuit of the Emergency

Diesel Fire Pump was*proven

operable by performing

PT-24. 1. A Design Change has been completed

on the replacement

starting contactors.

The Design Change concluded

the _ replacement

of the #118848 magnetic switch with the Cummins recommended

1. 199573 D.C. relay results in an improved starting circuit. 2.) Corrective

steps which will be taken to avoid further non-compliance:

Futnre changes to safety-related

systems will be accomplished

by design change in accordance

with NPSQAM, Section 3, 3.) Date when full compliance

will be achieved:

Full compliance

has been achieved.
