NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Docket:
50-285 License:
DPR-40 EA 94-267 During an NRC inspection conducted November 14 through December 27,
- 1994, two violat'ions of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
A.
B.
Criterion III, Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50,,states, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis for those structures,
- systems, and components to which this appendix applies are correctly translated into specifications,
- drawings, procedures, and instructions.
Contrary to (he above, on November 14,
- 1994, the licensee determined that a
1988 control room air conditioning unit design modification had not correctly translated the design basis specifications for assuring system operability during certain design basis accidents.
As a result, the control room air conditioning units that were purchased and installed were not capable of operating within the component cooling water maximum temperatures following a postulated main steam line break inside the containment or a large break loss of coolant accident.
This condition has existed since 1988.

Criterion V, Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50, states, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
The Fort Calhoun equality Assurance
- Plan, Revision 3, Section 2.1, paragraph 4.2. 1, states, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions or procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions or procedures.
Standing Order SO-R-4, Station Incident Reports, Revision 44, Section 2.4.5 requires an incident report for violations of established system design bases (Updated Safety Analysis Report
{USAR) or Design Bases Document).
Nuclear Operations Division Procedure NOD-(P-31, Revision 8, Section
- 6. 16, requires that nonroutine events and conditions which may require operability and reportability determinations be documented by an incident report per Standing Order SO-R-4.
Section
- 7. 1 states that determinations of operability and reportability will be performed using the guidance in this procedure and will be implemented through Standing Order SO-R-4, Station Incident Reports.
Contrary to the above, on October 5,
- 1994, an incident report was not initiated, after the licensee was notified, for a violation of the established control room air conditioner design basis or to perform the
required operability and reportability determinations.
The required incident report was subsequently initiated on November 15,
- 1994, following the licensee's determination that the control room air conditioning units would be rendered inoperable during a large break loss of coolant accident or a main steam line break inside the containment.
