Failure to Follow Procedure During
Residual Heat Removal (ND) Pump 1B Performance Test (
PT). As described in NRC Inspection Report 05000369,370/2006007, this concerned a failure to follow procedures during performance of a TS required
PT for ND pump 1B. Specifically, steps in completed procedure PT/1/A/4204/001B were signed by an individual that was not qualified to sign the steps, the individual signed steps as completed that were not performed, and the individual designated a non-conditional step as being not applicable (N/A). On January 30, 2007, the NRC Office of Investigations (
OI) completed an investigation pertaining to
URI 05000369/2006007-04. Based on a review of the
OI investigation, the NRC determined that a violation of NRC requirements occurred. The
Severity Level IV violation was cited in an
OI letter dated July 17, 2007 (NOTICE OF VIOLATION, EA-07- 130). For administrative purposes this violation (
VIO) is designated as
VIO 05000369/ 2007005-05, Failure to Follow Procedure During
Residual Heat Removal Pump 1B Performance Test. The inspectors have reviewed the licensees August 16, 2007, response to the Notice of Violation and subsequent corrective actions. Because the results of PT/1/A/4204/001B were not affected by the procedural non-compliance and appropriate corrective actions have been taken,
URI 05000369/2006007-01 and
VIO 05000369/2007005-05 are closed.
