APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System Docket Number 50-397 WPPSS Nuclear Project No.
2 (WHP-2)
License Number NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted at the site during the periods of January 29
- February 8, 1990, and February 27 - March 9, 1990, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with "General Statement of Policy and'Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, "10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988),
the violation is listed below:
WHP-2 Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained, "covering applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Februarv 1978."
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, specifically addresses operating procedures for, "Malfunctions of the Pressure Control System,"
and the "Inability to Drive Control Rods."
Contrary to the above:
A procedure did not exist that covered a specific malfunction of the pressure control system, namely, depressurization due to failure of the Digital Electro-Hydraulic Control System.
Emergency Procedure, "Reactor Power Control" PPM 5.1.3, provided insufficient procedures for an operator to locally mitigate the'inability to drive control rods.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).
Pursuant to provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, WPPSS is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region V, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspection office at WNP-2, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include:
(1) the reason for violation if admitted; (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations; and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
If, an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown; r
