APPENDIK A
Arizona Nuclear Power Project
P.
O. Box 52034
Phoenix,
Arizona 85072-2034
Docket No. 50-528
License
No. NPF-34
As
a result of the inspection conducted
on March ll through April 28,
1985,
and in accordance
with NRC Enforcement Policy,
Appendix C,
47 FR 9987, the following violations were identified.
A.
Technical Specification 3.7.7 requires that both control room
essential filtration systems
be operable.
Technical Specification 4.7.7.d requires that the control room
essential filtration systems
be capable of automatic initiation and
maintenance
of the control room at
a positive pressure
of at least
1/8-inch water gauge relative to adjacent
areas.
Contrary to the above,
as
a result of two control room access
doors
(J317
and J319) being maintained
open during the period March 1-20,
1985, both control room essential filtration systems
were
inoperable, in that the filtration systems
upon automatic initiation
were only capable of maintaining the control room at
a positive
pressure
of 1/20-inch water gauge relative to adjacent
areas,
less
than the required 1/8-inch water'auge.
This is
a severity level IV Violation (Supplement I).
B.
Technical Specification 3.1.2.'1.b
requires that
a boron injection
flow path be operable
from the refueling water tank via either
a
charging
pump,
a high pressure
safety injection pump, or a low
pressure
safety injection 'pump to the reactor coolant system.
Technical Specification 4.1.2.3 requires that at least
one charging
pump, high pressure
safety injection pump or one low pressure
safety
injection pump in the boron injection flowpath required by Technical Specification 3.1.2.l.b be demonstrated
through
surveillance testing in accordance
with Section KI of the
Boiler and Pressure
Vessel
Code.
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Procedure
Injection Flowpaths - Shutdown, Revision 2, dated March 1,
1985,
paragraph
8 '
requires that the
pump being used for credit to
satisfy
a required boron injection flowpath shall have been tested
in accordance
with Section XI of the
ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel
Code.
Contrary to the above,
on March 12,
1985, following performance
of
41 ST-1CH02, the "A" High Pressure
Safety Injection Pump was
credited
as
a portion of the designated
boration flowpath without
having been tested in accordance
with Section KI of the
ASME Boiler
and Pressure
Vessel
Code.
This is
a severity level IV Violation (Supplement I).

C,
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion KVI, Corrective Action, requires
that for significant conditions adverse
to quality, the cause of the
condition shall be determined
and corrective action taken to
preclude repetition.
Technical Specification 3.7.12.a
requires in part, that with one or
more fire rated assembly penetrations
(fire doors, fire dampers,
cable, piping and ventilation duct penetration
seals)
an
hourly fire watch patrol of the area shall be established.
Technical Specification 6.8.3 states,
in part, that temporary
changes
to procedures
may be made provided the change is documented,
reviewed by the applicable individual/organization,
and approved by
the
PVNGS Plant Manager,
or designee,
within 14 days of
implementation.
Contrary to the above,
the licensee's
corrective action for previous
violations of 6.8.3
and 3.7.12a
could reasonably
have been expected
to have prevented
these repetitive violations:
o
Several of the fire watch patrols of areas in the Control
Building and Auxiliary Building with inoperable fire rated
assembly penetrations
exceeded
the hourly frequency requirement
on April 2,
and 3,
1985; similar to an occurrence identified by
the licensee
on March 23,
1985.
o
On April 10,
1985, four temporary procedure
changes
were
identified by the licensee to have
exceeded
the required review
and approval within fourteen days; similar instances
were
pr'eviously identified by "the licensee
on February
20, 25,
and
March 30,
1985.
This is
a severity level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant
to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Arizona Public Service
Company is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of
the date of this Notice,
a written statement
or explanation in reply,
including: (1) the corrective steps
which have been taken
and the results
achieved;
(2) corrective steps
which will be taken to avoid further items
of noncompliance;
and (3) the date
when full compliance will be achieved.
Consideration
may be given to extending your response
time for good cause
shown.
