Hark each chart with the time the check is performed and initial.
Contrary to the above, from November 29, 1997, until December 6,
1997, the licensee failed to assure that the steam generator wide range level chart recorder, LR-477, was marking properly and timing correctly in that the chart was 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> off from true time.

ADH-NGGC-0104, Work Management
- Process, Revision 3, Paragraph 9.8.7.9.d requires, in part, that the work instructions field shall contain a level of detail appropriate to the complexity of the task to be accomplished.
Contrary to the above, on February 24.
1998, the licensee failed to provide adequate work instructions for rod control system troubleshooting and repair in that the instructions failed to require that the rod control system counters be checked to ensure that they were properly aligned with actual rod position after it was determined that a multiplexer relay had failed.
This resulted in the two control bank "D" groups of control rods being positioned out of sequence causing the two groups to be greater than one step apart.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Contrary to the above, on January 29, 1998, the licensee failed to determine that shutdown margin was greater than or equal to 1770 pcm within one hour after shutdown bank "C" rods were declared inoperable.
The shutdown margin determination was completed one hour and nineteen minutes after the rods were declared inoperable.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Technical Specification 6.8. l.h states that written procedures shall be established'mplemented, and maintained covering the fire protection program implementation.

Penetration installation procedure CNP-010, "Installation of Penetration Seals."
Revision 8. sections 6.0 and 7.0. states, in part, that the penetration seal installation work packages document acceptance criteria to ensure that'he physical and chemical properties of the seals conform to the seal specifications and test reports.
Penetration installation procedure CMP-010, "Installation of Penetration Seals,"
Revision 8, section 7.0. 12, states that Engineering shall specify size and location of subdividing partitions and material to be used on large floor/ceiling penetrations requi ring subdividing as specified on typical detai 1 drawings.
Penetration seal typical detail drawing 1364-93035, sheet 3, Revision 0, General Note No.
4 indicates that a penetration seal be subdivided by partitions if the maximum seal area limit is exceeded.
