APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System P. 0.

Box 968 Richland, Washington 99352 Docket No. 50-397 License No. NPF-21 As a result of the inspection conducted September 28 - November 1,

1985, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:

Appendix B of 10 CFR 50, Criterion V requires, in part, that "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures,

...

(which) shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."

The WNP-2 Technical Specifications section 6.8.l.a requires that procedures be established, implemented and maintained covering activities listed in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 Revision 2, which includes procedures for performing maintenance and surveillance testing.

Contrary to the above'requirements, it was determined on October 24, 1985 that WNP-2 plant surveillance procedures did not include instructions or criteria for determining that important activities are properly accomplished; i.e., that terminal box and junction box covers on environmentally qualified equipment are replaced or secured following maintenance or surveillance testing.

As a consequence, environmentally qualified instruments were not maintained consistent with the program described in Section 3.11 of the FSAR and Section 4.2.7 of the

"WNP-2 Environmental Qualification Report for Safety-Related Equipment."

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the Washington Public Power Supply System is hereby required to submit to this office within twenty-five days of the date of this Notice, a written statement of explanation in reply.

In view of your prompt corrective actions in response to the specific findings discussed in the enclosed Inspection Report, your reply need not address those corrective actions.

However, your reply should address:

(1) your evaluation regarding the failure of plant staff personnel, over an extended period of time, to recognize and correct the deficient conditions, and (2) corrective steps which will be taken to improve plant staff response to such matters in the future.

Consideration may be given to.extending your response time for good cause shown.
