Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:  ;

!

Thank you for your response of May 23, 1997, to our Notice of Violation, 1

issued on May 5, 1997, concerning activities conducted at your North Anna i

facility. We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the  !

requirements of 10 CFR 2.201.  !

Your response states, "Each chart recorder in question has an indicator and/or l

redundant instruments that provide parameter indicatior, for operational  :

control. The charts are used for historical record and furthermmore, are not i

required by Technical Specifications. Based on the limited regulatory and ,

safety significance of the issue, it is requested that the Notice of Violation i

be reconsidered for categorization as a Non Cited Violation. We believe that  !

this issue meets the requirements in the NRC Enforcement Manual for  ;

categorization as a Non Cited Violation." l

!

We have carefully considered the basis for your request to change the  !

categorization of the violation from Severity ievel IV violation to a Non-

Cited violation. The reasons that the issue was categorized as Severity Level  !

IV violation included: over a period of several days, shift crew members  ;

initialed, dated and verified on multiple occasions that the recorders were

functioning properly, when they were not; supervisory control room )ersonnel {

failed to note the discrepancies; and the issue was not identified ay your  !

personnel. The failure of control room personnel to correctly verify that  !

control room chart recorders were functional is more than a minor regulatory '

l

concern, and therefore the criteria for a Non Cited violation as stated in

NUREG 1600, " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement i

Actions" was not met. j

Based on this review, we will examine the implementation of your corrective

actions)duringfutureinspections. l
