Robinson License No. DPR-23 During the NRC inspection conducted on August 11 September 10, 1990, 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 (1990), the violation is listed below:
Technical Specifications (TS)
Section 4.0.1a requires in part that, inservice testing of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55 a(g).
Section XI of the 1977 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, paragraph IWP-3500, Duration of Tests, requires in part that, each pump shall be run until bearing temperatures stabilize, and then the quantities specified shall be measured or observed and recorded. A bearing temperature shall be considered stable when three successive readings taken at 10 minute intervals do not vary by more than 3 percent.
Bearing temperatures for the safety injection (SI),
and residual heat removal (RHR) pumps were measured and recorded per procedures EST-005,
-007, -013, and -089, respectively.
Contrary to the above, stabilized bearing temperatures were not obtained for the SI, CS,
- AFW, and RHR pumps as required by TS 4.0.1a and IWP-3500, in that, from 1986 to 1990 during 14 performances of EST-005, 8
performances of EST-007, 6 performances of EST-013, and 4 performances of EST-089, the respective pumps were not run for a sufficient length of time to obtain stable bearing temperatures as required and defined by IWP-3500.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
