,Attention:

Mr. G.

C. Sorensen,

Manager,

Regulatory

Programs

SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION FOR THE SERVICE MATER TEAM INSPECTION

NRC INSPECTION

REPORT

NO. 50-397/93-201

This refers to the findings identified during the team inspecti on

1 ed by

Mr J.

B. Jacobson of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

{NRR) from

February

1 through

11,

1993.

The'nspection

included

a review of activities

authorized for your WNP-2 facility and focused

on the service water system.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

with those

members of your staff identified in the subject r'eport issued April 1,

1993.

As was explained at that meeting,

any enforcement

matters

would be addressed

separately

by Region V.

This letter forwards the violations identified as

a

result of the inspection.

Our conclusions

regarding these violations were

discussed

with Mr. J.

W. Baker and other members of your staff on April 26,

1993.

Areas

examined during the inspection

were identified in the subject report.

The inspection

examined the operational

performance of the service water

system.

Within these

areas,

the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with

personnel,

and observation of activities in progress.

The purpose of the

inspection

was to determine whether activities authorized

by the license

were

conducted

safely

and in accordance

with NRC requirements.

Based

on the results of'he inspection,

certain of your activities appeared

to

be in violation of NRC requirements,

as specified in the enclosed

Notice of

Violation {Notice).

The violations involve: 1) the failure to identify the

cause

and take prompt corrective action for a malfunctioning valve and for out

of specification water chemistry

and

2) the failure to follow procedures

for a.

valve lineup by the valve positioner,

the position verifier, and the shift

foreman.

The violations are of concern

because

they were identified by the

NRC and,

although the involved systems

were determined

to have remained

operable,

the violations represented

si gnificant failures to correct

conditions

adverse

to quality and should

have

been

prevented

by your

corrective actions for previous recent violations regarding failure to follow

procedures.
