| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Turkey Point Unit 3 and 4 Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures shall be implemented as referenced in Florida Power and Light (FPL) Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR). FPL QATR states that Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, is applicable in establishing procedural controls. Regulatory Guide 1.33 states in part, that safety related activities will be covered by written procedures. Turkey Point instrumentation and controls maintenance procedures 3-SMI-041.11A, Pressurizer Level Protection Operational Test Channel I LT- 459 and 3-SMI-041.104, Pressurizer Level Protection Channel I Loop Calibration LT- 459 both specified the use of a Fluke Model 8842A multimeter designed for the application. Contrary to the above, the maintenance technicians used a Fluke Model 8846A multi-meter which had different impedance characteristics than the Model 8842A and had not been evaluated for use in this application. The operational test with the wrong meter resulted in unsatisfactory results requiring an instrument calibration. The calibration and return to service of the instrument with the incorrect Fluke meter resulted in resetting the instrument set point to 92.262 percent level, which exceeded the technical specification limit of 92.2 percent. This finding is of very low safety significance because it did not affect the function of other systems used to shutdown the reactor, did not add positive reactivity, or result in mismanagement of reactivity by the operators as screened in IMC 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Section C, Reactivity Control Systems. This event is documented in the licensee corrective action program as action request number 01836648. |
