ITEM Technical Specification 6.4.le requires preventative or corrective maintenance to be accomplished by adhering to approved written procedures.

Contrary to the above, on December 9, 1979, an I&E Technician performed mainten-ance on two Unit 2 engineered safeguards valves while the unit was at 99% full power whereas his assigned task was to perform maintenance on these same valves for Unit 1, which was in a refueling outage.

This is an Infraction and applies to Ut L 2.

RESPONSE

The technician involved in the cited incident has been given a written warning concerning his deficient performance. All I&E Technicians have been counseled to exercise particular caution in order to assure that the correct equipment is removed from service.

In addition, an Independent Verification Program is being developed to assure the proper status of safety-related equipment.

It is anticipated that this program will be implemented by February 15, 1980.

These steps are considered to provide adequate assurance against the recurrence of a similar incident.
