Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION A. W. Hartner License No. SOP-3323 Docket No. 55-5613 Based on the results of an HRC inspection conducted on November 27 through December 8,1979, it appears that one of your activities was not conducted in full compliance with conditions of your Senior Operator License as indicated below.
This noncompliance is categorized as a violation.
Senior Operator '.icense No. 50P-3323 states in part that "In directing the licensed activities of licensed operators...the licensee shall observe the operating procedures and other conditions specified in the facility license which authorizes operation of the facility...".
Appendix A to Operating License No. DPR-66, Technical Specification 3.5.2, states that with the plant in Mode 1 (Power Operation), two separate and independent ECCS subsystems shall be operable, and further states in section 3.5.2.c that each subsystem shall include an oper-able flow path capable of taking suction from the refueling water storage tank upon initiation of a safety injection signal.
Technical Specificat;on 1.6 defines " operable" to mean, in part, "that all necessary attendant it strumentation, control electric power, cooling or seal water, lubrication or auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing their related safety functions."
Appendix A to Operating License No. DPR-65, Technical Specifications Section 6.8.1 requires that procedures be established, implemented and maintained consistent with all applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33 dated November 1972.
Included in RG 1.33 are procedures for plant operation and maintenance activities.
The Beaver Valley Power Station Operating Manual, Section 1.48.7, Revision 7, including Operating Manual Change Notice No.79-137 dated October 8,1979, and Special Operating Order No. 79-2, Clearance Procedure, issued April 25, 1979, collectively stipulate that the operators must at least visually verify that redundant Engineered Safety Features (ESF) systems are available prior to maintenance release and that signatures of the operators signify that removal of ESF equipment from service will not violate applicable Technical Specifications limiting conditions of operation.
Contrary to the above, on November 27, 1979, you participated in approving a switching order associated with a maintenance work request without verifying that all redundant engineered safety feature systems were available in that the approved maintenance work rendered both ECCS subsystems inoperable from approx-imately 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
During this time:
a) the refueling water storage tank isolation valve MOV-CH-115D was closed and incapable of automatic opening in response to a safety injection signal; and, b) the refueling water storage tank isolation valve MOV-CH-115B, in the redundant subsystem, was closed, had no emer-gency power available, and thus was incapable of automatic opening in response to a safety injection signal if there had been a condition of loss of offsite power.
