Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures in Appendix A of
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 8(1) (dd) recommends procedures for surveillance tests. Procedure
0PSP03-MS-0001,
Main Steam System Valve Operability Test, Revision 38, step 5.9.25 stated, PLACE
SG PORV STATION BLACKOUT
PWR PV-7441 in
BYP position (EAB 10, Rm 015,
ASP, ZLP-100). Contrary to the above, on January 31, 2012, during a surveillance test on
steam generator 1D power operated relief valve, a non-licensed operator failed to review and implement the procedure step as written. The finding was of very low safety significance because it did not result in a loss of system safety function; it was not
inoperable for longer than its technical specification allowed outage time; and it was not risk significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This item was entered into the corrective action program as Condition Report 12-5448.
