Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, Appendix A, Section 9.a, states in part:

"Maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions...

appropriate to the circumstances."

'PM 10.25.63, "Emergency Lighting Inspection," Revision 4, Step 7.A.4, states in part: "Verify the water levels are between the upper and lower marks for the non-maintenance free batteries.

Fill with DI water, if required...".

PPM 10.25.63, Revision 4, Step 7.C.7 states, "Have operations close circuit breakers opened in Step 5."

Scheduled Maintenance System (SMS) Task Ol for residual heat removal (RHR) system valves RHR-V-24A and RHR-V-24B states in part:

"Check for loose... yoke operator bolts Contrary to the above:

1.

Electrolyte levels were not checked in September and October 1989 when preventive maintenance was performed on lighting batteries C120/441/3X>

C121/441/1X, C121/441/2Xj and W467/4X.

2.

The circuit breakers (disconnects) for emergency 25 VDC lighting in the stairwell from the control room to the remote shutdown room were not closed after preventive maintenance was performed on January 7,

1990.

3.

Proper torque on operator-yoke bolts for valve RHR-V"24A was not verified when preventive maintenance was performed on October 1,

1989.

The preventive maintenance task documentation did not contain instructions to check the torque on yoke operator bolts, and the bolts were verified only finger-tight.

These items represent a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
