h APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation Docket No. 50-P.71 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on December 12-15, 1978, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with the conditions of your NRC Facility License No.
DPR-28, as indicated below.
Item A is an Infraction and Item B is a Deficiency.
A.
Technical Specification 6.5.A states in part:
" Detailed written procedures involving nuclear safety, including applicable c. heck-off lists and instructions, covering areas listed below shall be pre-pared and approved.
1.
Nonnal startup, operation and shutdown of systems and compo-nents of the facility."
Contrary to the above, inadequate procedures resulted in a valve check-off list performed on August 7,1978 in accordance with Procedure OP 2113, Main and Auxiliary Steam, being incomplete in that certain valves located on the High Main Steam Line Flow Switches instre' art rack were omitted from the valve check-off list.
In addition, it appears inadequate controls were providei for a previously conducted valve tagging program, as a result a valve identification tag was incorrectly applied. This combination of factors resulted in a plant startup with the High Main Steam Line Flow Switches inoperable.
B.
Technical Specification 6.7.B.1 states in part:
"The types of events listed below shall be reported as expeditiously as possible, but within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />...
f.
Personnel error or prccedural inadequacy which prevents or could prevent, by itself, the fulfillment of the functional require-ments of systems required to cope with accidents analyzed in the SAR."
Contrary to the above, an event which occurred on August 14, 1978 resulting from a personnel error and/or procedural inadequacy which resulted in the loss of all the High Main Steam Line Flow Switches was not reported within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The event was reported in a Thirty Day Written Report.
