APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System P. 0. Box 968 Richland, Washington 99352 Docket No. 50-397 License No. NPF-21 As a result of the inspection conducted August 3-31,

1985, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:

Technical Specifications Section 6.8.1 requires that "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities referenced below: a.

The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978".

Included in the list of procedures recommended by RG 1.33 are: "4. Instructions for energizing, filling, venting, draining, startup,

shutdown, and changing modes of operation... for the... e.

Shutdown Cooling and Reactor Vessel Head Spray System,

h. Emergency Core Cooling System, and j. Containment",

and "5. Procedures for Abnormal, Offnormal, or Alarm Conditions".

The RHR system operating procedure PPM-2.4.2 Section E, Residual Heat Removal System Suppression Pool Discharge to Radwaste, Step

3) requires the operator to "Start RHR pump RHR-P-2B" prior to discharge to Radwaste.

The annunciator response sheet

+4.601.A12-2.3 refers to emergency procedure PPM 5.2.4 Suppression Pool Level Control step 3.1 or 3.2 to maintain suppression pool level within the desired limit.

The applicable step 3.1 requires the operator to:

"a. Operate RHR-P-2B (RHR loop B main pump).

"b. Request the HP/Chemist sample RHR Loop B.

Refer to PPM 12.10.1, Post Post Accident Sampling and Analysis.

"d. Confirm sample results prior to discharge."

Contrary to the above, on August 23, 1985, the control room staff discharged suppression pool water to the radwaste system without operating pump RHR-P-2B and without obtaining a water sample and confirming sample results prior to discharge.

The failure to operate pump RHR-P-2B led to a low pressure condition and potential or actual voids in the reactor injection line from this low pressure coolant injection ECCS pump.

I This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
