. Attachment to - W3F1-93-0160 Page 1 of 2 , ' . ATTACHMENT 1 ENTERGY OPERATIONS. INC. RESPONSE TO THE VIOLATION IDENTIFIED IN APPENDIX A 0F NRC INSPECTION REPORT 93-16 VIOLATION 9316-01 During.an NRC inspection conducted on Apri1~4 through May 15, 1993. a violation of NRC requirements was' identified.
In accordance with the." General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement' Actions," 10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
. Technical Specification 6.8.1.c requires that written procedures be' established, implemented, and maintained covering surveillance and test
activities of safety related equipment.
Section 3.2 of Surveillance Procedure OP-903-005, Revision 7, " Control Element Assembly Operability. Check," requires, in part, that, if _any.
control element assembly (CEA) is noted to be immovable at any time during the performance of the test, then refer to Off-Normal Procedure OP-901-102, "CEA or CEDMCS Malfunction".
Contrary to the above, on May ll, 1993, operators failed to refer to Off-Normal Procedure OP-901-102, upon determining that part-length CEA 28 was immovable during the perfo~rmance of Surveillance Procedure OP-903-005.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (382/9316-01) l l RESPONSE (1) Reason for the Violation Entergy Operations, Inc. admits this violation and believes that the root cause is inappropriate action by the Control Room Supervisor (CRS) for the failure to communicate his actions concerning the use of an Off Normal procedure to the Shift Supervisor and control room crew.

__ _ _ ' Attachment to
W3F1-93-0160 Page 2 of 2 . On May 11, 1993, Surveillance Procedure OP-903-005, " Control Element Assembly Operability Check" was scheduled to be performed in accoruance with the requirements of Technical Specification 4.1.3.1.2.
Section 4.0, " Initial Conditions", of OP-903-005, requires that a pre-briefing be performed prior to commencement of the surveillance test.
The CRS conducted a pre-briefing which included-a review of applicable Technical Specifications, and Off-Normal Procedure OP-901-102, "CEA or CEDMCS Mal functi on". During the performance of OP-903-005, operators determined that part-length CEA 28 would not move. Operators declared the CEA inoperable, . entered Technical Specification 3.1.3.1 and determined that no action was required.
Upon further review of OP-901-102, the CRS determined that all the requirements of the Off-Normal procedure were being satisfied, and chose not to formally enter the Off-Normal procedure.
The CRS did not report this action in the Station Logs or to other members of the Control Room Staff.
It is believed that, if the CRS had properly communicated his decision not to. enter the Off-Normal procedure to the Shift Supervisor or the operating crew, a conscious decision would have been made to report such action in the Station Logs.
(2) Corrective Steps That Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved Upon identification of the failure described by this violation, immediate actions were taken to confirm that the actions taken by the , Control Room Staff satisfied the requirements of the Off-Normal procedure with respect to an immovable CEA.
In addition, Condition Report number CR-93-083 was written and entered into the Waterford 3 Corrective Action Program.
(3) Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Violations i The Operations Department personnel will review this event via required j reading and the Operations Superintendent will discuss this event with l Licensed Operators during requalification training.
(4) Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Full compliance will be achieved by October 1, 1993.
