NOTICE OF VIOLATION Docket Nos.
50-335 and 50-389 License Nos.
DPR-67 and NPF-16 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 7 through February 17,
- 1996, a
violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
(60 FR 34381; June 30, 1995),
the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8.3 provides that temporary changes to procedures required by Technical Specification 6.8. 1 may be made, without prior review by the Facility Review Group (FRG) or approval by the Plant General
- Hanager, provided that the intent of the original procedure is not altered.
Contrary to the above, the licensee made temporary changes to procedures required by Technical Specification 6.8.1, without prior review by the FRG or approval by the Plant General
- Hanager, that altered the intent of the original procedures.
Examples include:
Temporary Change (TC) 1-95-569 of October 30,
- 1995, revised OP 2200050A, 1A emergency diesel generator (EDG) Periodic Test and General Operating Instructions, Rev.
22.
The TC revised surveillance test acceptance criteria for load variations.
Changing the 1A EDG surveillance test acceptance-criteria altered the intent of the original procedure.
2.
3.
4, TC 1-95-570 of October 30,
- 1995, revised OP-1-2200050B, 1B EDG Periodic Test and General Operating Instructions,
- Rev, 22.
The TC
'revised surveillance test acceptance criteria for load variations.
Changing the 18 EDG surveillance test acceptance criteria altered the intent of the original procedure.
TC 1-95-589 of November 11,
- 1995, revised OP-1-0540020, Boron Recovery System Line-up, Rev.
14.
The TC added a
new two and one-fourth page long step by step procedure for transferring radioactive borated water from a Unit 1 hold-up tank to a Unit 2 hold-up tank.
Adding a detailed and complex procedure for transferring radioactive water altered the intent of the original procedure.
TC 1-95-592 of November 12,
- 1995, revised AP-1-0010125, Schedule of Periodic Tests.
- Checks, and Calibrations, Rev.
103.
The TC eliminated the requirement for a dedicated auxiliary operator to open the 28 EDG fuel oil transfer manual isolation valve in the event of a Unit 2 reactor trip.
This requirement had been placed in the procedure as a manual action in place of automatic Engineered Safeguards Feature
- action, to open a manual valve that had been closed because of an underground fuel oil pipe leak.
The use of this manual action had been closely reviewed by licensee and NRC management.
Deletion of the dedicated auxiliary operator from the procedure altered the intent of the original procedure.
