NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Publ ic Power Supply System Washington Nuclear Project No.
2 Docket No. 50-397 License No. NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 30, 1993, through January 10,
- 1994, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished by procedures appropriate to the circumstances.
1.
WNP-2 Plant Procedures Manual (PPH) 1.3.12, "Problem Evaluation Requests,"
Revision 17, states in Paragraph
- 6. 1 that any individual who discovers a condition adverse to quality shall document the issue on a Problem Evaluation Request (PER).
Contrary to the above, when closing maintenance work request (HWR)
AP4260 on September 7,
1993, licensee personnel determined that an ASME Section XI work plan had not been performed for the installa-tion of Furmanite adapters on the valve bonnet packing chamber of valve HS-Y-20.
Although the licensee documented this procedure violation on September 20, 1993, this condition adverse to quality was not documented on a
PER until December 16, 1993, after the NRC had questioned the condition of valve HS-V-20.
2.
WNP-2 PPH 1.3. 19, "Plant Material Condition Inspection Program,"
Revision 15, Paragraph
- 4. 1.5(a)(8) states, "When using gas bottles, whether flammable or nonflammable, they must be properly secured against a substantial structural member with heavy rope or, preferable, chain or cable, in such a manner as to preclude them from falling over.
Bottles are to be tied off both at top and at bottom (to preclude 'kick out'nd falling to the floor).
Bottles shall be removed from the building at the end of the work function if not permanently secured in bottle racks."
Contrary to the above, on December 22,
- 1993, a compressed gas cylinder left near the "A" train of the standby gas treatment system was not restrained in any way.
Additionally, several compressed gas cylinders near the containment atmospheric control system had loose restraints and restraining bolts.
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:
