50-250, 50-251 License Nos.
DPR-31, DPR-41 EA 96-206 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 5 through June 15,
- 1996, a 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 6.8. 1 requires that written procedures shall be established in accordance with Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, guality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations),
Revision 2, February 1978.
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 section 8.b.(l)(q) states that implementing procedures are required for each surveillance test listed in the technical
~ specifications, including emergency power tests.
Technical Specification 4.8. 1. 1.2.a.4 requires that each emergency diesel generator shall be demonstrated operable by verifying that the diesel starts and accelerates to rated conditions.
Once per 184 days, these conditions shall be reached within 15 seconds after the start signal from normal conditions.
This requirement was implemented by procedures 3 and 4-OSP-023. 1, Diesel Generator Operability Test, sections 7.3 and 7.4, rapid start test.
Contrary to the above, prior to May 21,
- 1996, and since initial plant startup for Unit 3 and since the Dual Unit Outage for Unit 4, the 184 day rapid start test performed by procedures 3 and 4-OSP-023.
1 was not performed from normal conditions in that the diesel generator fuel priming pumps were operated prior to initiating the diesel start signal.
As a result, portions of the automatic start circuitry had not been demonstrated operable.
Subsequent testing of all four diesels without operating the fuel priming system was successful..
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement l).
