Mr. Lew W. Myers
Vice President Nuclear

P. O. Box 97, A200
Pony, OH 44001
Dear Mr. Myers:
Thank you for your louer dated November 24,1997, addressing the three examples of a violation
cited in 'repecue , Report No. 60 440/97007 that was forwarded by our letter dated October 24,
,
1997. In your letter, you stated that you were contesting examples 97007 01a and 97007-01c of
1
the violation. You accepted example 97007 01b.
We have reviewed the information you provided fu example 97007 01a and, based on this
review and on our discussions of this issue with the Technical Specification (TS) Branch in NRR,
we have determined that this violation should be rescinded. The action to look the reactor mode
owhch in the shutdown position within one hour aner TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO)
3.3.1.2 la entered was moved from the TS to the TS 'assis durin9 the TS improvemord Program.
Once this action was put in the basis, h was no longer required to lock the mode switch in the
shutdown position. Therefore, a procedure to perform this action was not needed, rad although
the operator's performance did not meet your expectations, no violation occurred when the
'
operator failed to lock the mode switch in shutoown within one hour after entering the T8 LCO.
Regarding Violation 97007-01c, we have reviewed the additionalinformation you provided and
have concluded that no violation occurred during leak testing of the emergency closed cooling
valves on June 10,1997. The basis for our determination was that tie initial bench test was
intended fer predictive and informatioral purposes to identify makr leakages as you stated in i
your response. We agree anor the review of the information you provided that the work order /
was sufficient to cover this type of test. Had we known that the test was for predictive and g
Informational purposes, no violation would have been issued. Therefore, this violatiori is hereby l
rescinded.
' Due to our reclaion of violation examples 97007 01a and 97007-01c, we reviewed example
97007 01b to determine if this example warranted a ottation on its own. We concluded that,
based on the fact that your corrective actions for this example were not completed and specific
corrective actions were not committed to prior to the end of the inspection, it r'id not meet the
j - orHerla for a Non CMed Violation established in Section Vll.B.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
'
We have reviewed your response to this example of a violation and find the response
acceptable. Your actions relative to this example of a violation will be reviewed during a fature
NRC inspection.
