  • ~ ".V 5 D M5 Mr. Anthony S. Kanicki, Jr.

RR fl 52 M l3i South Haven, MI 49090 License No. SOP-3160-1 -

Docket No. 55-h007 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATT: Mr. James G. Keppler, Director Region III 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137 Sir:

This letter is in response to your letter dated September 16, 1980 which contained a Notice of Violation requiring a response from me. The Notice of Violation was related to the performance of a portion of a safety related i Surveillance Procedure QO-2 which was not conducted in full compliance with

! the requirements of my Senior Operator License No. SOP 3160-1.

Because my signature appeared on the QO-2 Surveillance Procedure of f August 19, 1980 as the authorizing Shift Supervisor, I must accept full i responsibility for my actions and the events which followed and caused the

{ item of noncompliance.

5 During the past eleven years at this plant, I had, performed this Surveillance Procedure as a Licensed Operator many times and in the last three years as a Shift Supervisor I had authorized the performance of the QO-2 Surveillance Procedure during plant power operation previous to plant shutdown in September 1979 2

License Event Report 80-005 reported an apparent conflict between the surveillance requirements and equipment operability requirements of the

( br. c.q. .. T. eTechnical4pecifidati.onsit. , .As.,a:@sult.; .the < prerequisites for.. Surveillance r - - i-Procedure QO-2 were changed to require that the plant be in a cold shutdown or refueling shutdown conditions prior to performance of the Surveillance Procedure.

In issuing two Surveillance Procedures on the morning of August 19, 1980 I read through and checked the first procedure and then noting that the second procedure title was QO-2 and because of my familiarity with this Surveillance Procedure in the past, I authorized performance of the procedure after a quick perfunctory check and failed to notice that the plant status  !

requirement had been changed.'

Sincerely, l
