Cook Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-315; 50-316 License No. DRP-58; DPR-74 During an NRC inspection conducted from September 1 through October 12,
- 1996, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification (TS) 6.8, Procedures and Programs, states in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, guality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations),
Appendix A, states that safety-related maintenance activities should be covered by written procedures.
Plant Managers Procedure (PMP) 5040 MOD.001, Revision 5, "Temporary Modifications," implements, in part, TS 6.8 and RG 1.33, and requires that temporary modification installations be performed in accordance with the controls delineated therein.
PHP 5040 MOD.001 defines a
temporary modification as "Any short term configuration that exists on plant systems, components, or structures... which does not conform to approved plant drawings...
and is being used to maintain operation of II the plant.
Contrary to the above:
On September 3,
1996, the NRC inspectors identified that the licensee had opened three small penetrations through a wall separating the mild environment of the safety related essential service water pumps from the potentially harsh environment of the turbine building.
The openings did not conform to approved plant drawings, but the licensee failed to utilize the temporary modification process required by PHP 5040 MOD.001 when removing the penetration covers.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I). (50-316/96011-Ol(DRP))
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Indiana Michigan Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
