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 maintenanc 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-152 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 l operators self-checking training and IHP debriefings were completed by l July 29,'199 !
