and
- Drawings, requi res in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the ci rcumstances.
A scope change was made to nuclear plant work order (NPWO) 2830 on November 20, 1996 which contained step by step instructions for performing testing/troubleshooting activities to demonstrate, in part.
the operability of the 125 volt dc bus cross tie circuit breaker.
Contrary to the above. the testing/troubleshooting activities were not performed in accordance with procedures of' type appropriate to the circumstances in that the step by step instructions contained in the scope change'o NPWO 2830 did not provide adequate details for the testing/troubleshooting activities being performed.
The scope change did not adequately delineate testing prerequisites and was not appropriately integrated with the other work control documents being used for this evolution.
For example, it was not clear which steps of the original work order were to be completed prior to performing the steps in NPMO 2830.
Also. it was not clear which of the breakers was to be worked.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) applicable to Unit 1.
