Violation 369.370/89-24-01 D

. Licensee Technical Specification Table 6.2-1 requires a minimum u

L shift crew, when either unit is in Mode 1 through Mode 4, of one l'

shift Snpervisor, one Senior Reactor Operator, three Reactor l

Operators, three Auxiliary Operators, and one Shift Technical l

' Advisor.

NUREG 0654 states that this is the minimum shift necessar7 to assure the safe shutdown of a two-unit plant, when l

one of the plants is in an emergency. condition.

Selected Licensee Commitment (SLIC) 16.13-1, Fire Brigade, E

requires that.a Fire' Brigade of at least five members shall be maintained.onsite at all times.

The Fire Brigade members cannot include' members:of the minimum shift crew necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant.

Licensee Procedure, OMP 2-2, Shift Turnover, requires that each' shift verify that minimum shift staffing requirements and Fire Brigade staffing requirements are met.

. Contrary to the above:-

(1)

During the. periods of June 1989 to August 1989, the licensee routinely failed to follow Procedure OMP 2-2 by not properly documanting the minimum shift crew's presence.

No objective evidence exists that the Technical Specification requirements and the SLIC requirements were being met.

i (2)

Licensee Procedure OMP 2-2, Attachment la, was inadequate, in that it allowed members of the minimum shift staff to also be assigned to the Fire Brigade.

In the event'of an emergency situation involving a fire, the ability of both the Fire Brigade to respond to the fire and'the minimum shift staff to bring both units to safe shutdown may have been reduced.

This is a Severity Level IV (Supplement 1) violation.

Response

(1)

Admission or denial of the violation:

The violation is admitted.

(2)

The reason for the violation if admitted:

The violation occurred due co an inadequate administrative procedure.

Contributing to the violation was the lack of
