violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," the violation is listed below:
Technicah Specification (TS) 6.8. 1 requires that written procedures covering areas. such as corrective maintenance be implemented.
Maintenance Directive (HD) 020, "Maintenance Planning," Revision 25, specifies that the Operations Shift Supervisor (OSS) is responsible for determining the effect of the maintenance on the plant and any other requirements or special conditions (like TS requirements) that are required for the maintenance to occur.
Contrary to the above, on May 17, 1996, the inspectors identified that the OSS failed to determine that a TS limiting condition for operation (LCO) was necessary for the Hay 15,
