- a.
Contrary to the above, on January 13, 1998, Dresden Instrument Surveillance Procedure 0263-14 for Yarway level indicator calibration, an activity affecting quality, was not appropriate for the circumstances of performing the calibration at power because the procedure did not bypass the trip functions. As a consequence of the inadequate surveillance procedure, an automatic reactor scram occurred on January 13, 1998, during the performance of the calibration surveillance.
. Ttiis was a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
. b.
Contrary to the above, the instructions (WR# 970070793) used on February 4, 1998, to perform maintenance, an activity affecting quality, on safety-related motor control center (MCC) 28-1 were not appropriate because the instructions specified the installation of an incorrect coil for the 2/3 emergency diesel generator fan.
This was a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
- c.
Contrary to the above, the work instructions (WR # 960044491) used on February 5, 1998, for maintenance of the emergency diesel generator, an activity affecting quality, were inadequate because the proper direction for pump rotation
. was not checked. This led to the turbo lube oil pump for the 2/3 emergency diesel
- d.
generator being run backward for several hours.
This was a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Contrary to the above, the erection.of scaffolding, an activity which could affect quality, was not accomplished per Dresden Maintenance Procedure (DMP) 0018-08, Revision 03, because on January 12, 1998, scaffolding was discovered in direct contact with containment cooling service water system Valve 2-1599-82C, a piece of safety-related equipment. Attachment D of DMP 0018-08 contained horizontal and vertical clearance requirements between scaffolding and safety-related equipment.
