TOLEDO Septembet 20, 1979 EDISDN Docket No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1-92 Mr. A. B. Davis, Chief Fuel Facilities and Safety Branch, Region III U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137

Dear Mr. Davis:

Toledo Edison acknowledges receipt of your September 5, 1979 letter and report enclosure 79-16, referencing an apparent item of noncompliance to Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Unit No.1 commitment to the NRC listed as an " Infraction" under the heading of " Notice of Violation".

Following a thorough examination of this item, Toledo Edison herein offers information regarding the item of noncompliance.

Infraction: Technical Specification 6.8.2 requires that procedures, includ-ing the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide'l.33, be reviewed by the SRB and approved by the Station Superintendent prior to implementation. Appendix "A" of Regulatory Gr ide 1.33 lists the solid radwaste system as an activity which should be covered by written procedures.

Contrary to the above, the procedures for operation of a port-able radwaste solidification system, in use on numerous occasions during 1978 and 1979 to date, had not been reviewed by the SRB and approved by the Stat *;n Superintendent.

Response: 1. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 7.b(1) specif-ically lists " spent resins and filter sludge" on " solid waste system". The type of material solidified was evaporator bottoms and the procedure was not reviewed by the SRB. On August 7, 1979, the SRB changed the classification of Procedure SP 1104.28 (Solid Radwaste Disposal) so that it will be reviewed by the SRB.

2. On September 4, 1979, a major modification to SP 1104.28 was prepared which included the vendor's procedure for solidification received by the Station on August 29, 1979.

- The revised procedure was submitted to the SRB for review.
