Region II Suite 3100 RII: VLB 101 Marietta Street, N. W. 50-321/79-33 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 50-366/79-37 Attention: Mr. C. E. Murphy Gentlemen:

The following is submitted in response to your letter dated November 26, 1979, concerning the above NRC I6E Inspection Report.

INFRACTION Contrary to Section 21.21(a) of 10 CFR 21, Georgia Power Company has not been performing evaluations of deviations, circumstances, conditions and failure to comply to determine reportability in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21. This situation is primarily attributed to not having fully developed and implemented appropriate procedures at E. I. Ilatch to provide guidance and evaluation criteria to assure that deviations are evaluated (21.21(a)(1)); the director or responsible officer is informed of defects and failures to comply relating to substantial safety hazards (21.21(a)(2)); the written reports to the Commission contain the required information (21.21(b)(3)); and that the required records are maintained (21.51).

RESPONSE

Georgia Power Company has reviewed its implementation procedures for the requirements of 10 CFR 21 as a result of the specific inadequacies addressed in the above infraction. The following are GPC's responses or positions for each of the four areas specified:

(a) Plant procedures HNP-425, " Deviation Report" and HNP-450,

" Reportable Occurrence Report", as written, adequately assure that all deviations are reviewed to determine if a special 10 CFR 21 report is required.

(b) Plant procedures HNP-456 " Reporting of Defects and Noncompliances" and Power Generation Department Procedure GEN-3010 " Notification of Designated Company Officers under 10 CFR 21", as written, are adequate to assure that proper notification of responsible officers is made for 10 CFR 21 items.

(c) Plant Procedure HNP-456 will be revised by January 31, 1979, to provide guidance on what information is to be included in the written report to the NRC for all 10 CFR 21 items.

(d) The plant Deviation Report form (Figure 1 of HNP-425) will be revised by January 31, 1979, to explicitly document that the deviation has been reviewed to determine if a special-10 CFR 21 report is required.
