- 1978, recommends that implementing procedures be written for each calibration listed in the TSs.
Item (ff) of this paragraph specifies procedures for water storage tank level instrument calibrations.
Procedure 3-PNI-062. 1, Refueling Water Storage Tank Level Instrumentation Channels LT-6583A/B Calibration, 'satisfies the calibration requi rements of TS 4.3.3-3, Table 4.3-4, Item 20, Refueling Water Storage Tank. It provides the instructions and the necessary data to ensure proper calibra-tion and functional testing of the process control instrumentation associated with the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) level indicating system.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow procedure 3-PMI-062.1 in that during the calibration of the Unit 3, Channel B,
RWST level transmitter on April 2, 1992, the Unit 4, Channel A,
RWST level transmit-ter was removed from service instead of the Unit 3, Channel B,
RWST level transmitter.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).

Docket Nos. 50-250, 50-251 License Nos. DPR-31, DPR-41 Procedure O-ADM-201, Upgrade Operations Procedure
- Usage, paragraph 5.1, Procedural Adherence
- Policy, states in part that procedures shall be present during performance of tasks for which verification is documented by initial or signature.
Procedure 3-0P-072, Main Steam
- System, paragraphs 7.1 and 7.2, define the steps required to place the Main Steam Isolation Valve backup nitrogen bottles in service and/or in standby.
These steps require initials for operator and second verification.

- 1992, a turbine operator replaced the in-service Unit 3
A and B main steam isolation valve backup-nitrogen bottles with standby backup-nitrogen bottles without following the
'rocedure and without the required second verification.
This resulted in the misalignment of valves and isolation of the nitrogen backup system for the 3A and B main steam isolation valves.
