!
,

i During an NRC inspection conduc+ed on May 16 through June 26, 1993, a l
I;
- violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General l
l Statement'of' Policy.and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, j
Appendix C, the violation is : listed below:
j
!
A'.
Technical Specif'ication 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written l
procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the l
activities referenced in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Section 1 of Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires safety-related f
activities to be covered by written procedures, which includes equipment
!
control' (e.g., locking and tagging).
l I
~
!
Administrative Procedure OP-100-009, Revision 11, " Control of Valves and Breakers," requires that the valves and breakers listed in Attachments l

RESPONSE
!
(1)
Reason for-the Violation
Entergy Operations Inc. admits this violation and believes that the root
'
cause is inappropriate action in that auxiliary operators failed to completely comply with the requirements of OP-100-009, Control of Valves
,
and Breakers, while restoring EGA-152B to service following Emergency Diesel Generator maintenance.
On _May 10,1993, while restoring Emergency Diesel Generator B from a
,
maintenance outage, EGA-152B was unlocked.and throttled closed in i
accordance with OP-009-002, Section 8.1, Postmaintenance Emergency Diesel. Generator Lineup. As required, Attachment 6.4 to OP-100-009,
. Locked Valve / Breaker Deviation Sheet, was initiated for EGA-152B and
_
authorized by the Control Room Supervisor _{CRS). Upon completion of the
Emergency.. Diesel Generator _ B lineup, the CRS authorized the restoration i
of:EGA-1528.
It is believed that the auxiliary operators restoring EGA-
!
152B verified'the valve open but did not install the locking device
'
. properly, in that the locking device was locked to the valve handwheel
-
in' lieu of being locked to the handwheel and yoke to prevent movement.
'
The locking device was hanging in such a manner as to give the
appearance of being attached to the yoke, when in fact, the valve was
,
free'.to be operated. The verification of restoration did not identify the improperly installed lock. OP-100-009, Control of Valves and
Breakers, step 4.3.3 states, "The positioner and verifier shall ensure i
the locking devices are installed properly and prevent movement."
!
!
!
(2),
Corrective Steps That' Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved i
!
~
- On June _10, 1993,- the failure _ described by this violation was identified
,
and immediate actions'were taken to verify EGA-152B locked open in
!
accordance with OP-100-009, Control-of Valves and Breakers,- Attachment
6.4.
In addition, the Emergency, Diesel Generator A and B locked valves
were verified.to be in accordance with OP-100-009, Attachment 6.1, j
Locked Valve List / Emergency Diesel Generator.
Condition Report CR-93-l 071 was written and entered into the Waterford 3 corrective action
.
'
program. The auxiliary operators involved were debriefed in accordance with the Improving Human Performance (IHP) program and were required to i
attend specific training in self-checking techniques. The auxiliary operators self-checking training and IHP debriefings were completed by l
July 29,'1993.
