NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System Washington Nuclear Project No.
2 Docket No. 50-397 License No. NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 5 through November 15,
- 1992, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, and section 5.2.1 of the WPPSS Operational guality Assurance Program Description (0(APD) require in part that activities affecting quality be performed in accordance with approved drawings.
WNP-2 Top Tier drawings
- E535, sheet
- 58A, and
- E503, sheet 8 implement these requirements for electrical cubicle 2-E-HCC-8CA.
WNP-2 Technical Specification 6.8.1, states in part, "Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering...
a.
The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978."
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 1.c, recommends a procedure for "Equipment Control (e.g. locking and tagging)."
Plant Procedures Hanual (PPH) 1.3.8; "Danger Tag Clearance Order,"
revision 16, paragraph
- 6. 11.2 states in part:
"The operator performs the tagging operation as follows...
b.
When hanging the Clearance Order the operator shall pay particular attention to nameplate and control switch labeling.
c.
If the names and labels on the Clearance Order form do not match the equipment field labels, the operator resolves the difference with the Shift Hanager before hanging the tag.
d.
If labeling discrepancies between field equipment and plant drawings exist, initiates a Labeling Request Form to correct labeling or a Request for Technical Services (RFTS) to correct drawings as appropriate."
Contrary to the above, 2.
As of October 13, 1992, painters had removed the labeling for com-ponents located on electrical cubicle HCC-SCA, and had replaced the labels for HCC-8CA-1C and HCC-8CA-1D on the wrong cubicles, and On October 4, 1992 an operator placed a danger tag specified for "EDR-P-5" and "HCC-SCA-1D" on a breaker labeled "HCC-SCA-lC,"
without first notifying the Shift Hanager to resolve the discre-pancy; and a
RFTS or Labeling Request Form was not initiated.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.

WNP-2 Plant Procedures Manual procedure number 1.11.11, Revision 2, Entry into, Conduct and Exit from Radiologically Controlled Areas, paragraph 4.6 states that "Persons entering a radiologically controlled area shall return barriers, altered for access, to their original position after passing."
Contrary to the above, as of approximately 9:00 a.m.
on November 15, 1992, the radiation area barrier and posting at the entrance to the Northwest Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) pipe space on the reactor building 471 foot elevation had been removed from one side of the
- entrance, and both ends of the barrier rope were hanging on the other side of the entrance such that the barrier and posting were not readily recognizable.
Nobody was in the pipe space, and the barrier had not been returned to its original position.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Washington Public Power Supply System is hereby required to submit 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 Inspector, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmit-ting this Notice of Violation (Notice).
This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results
- achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further viola-

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, the Commission may issue an order or a demand for information as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
