u PC APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION o
ArkansasIPower & Light Company-Dockets:

[
'Arkanias Nuclear One', Units 1.& 2.
Licenses: DPR-51 NPF-6 During an NRC inspection conducted October 1 through November 15, 1989, three violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The violations involved failure to properly torque-fasteners on plant equipment, failure to meet the.
Technical Specification-(TS) requirements for the required number of operable'
-log channel power monitors, and failure to maintain appropriate plant procedures.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy-and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989)-(Enforcement
- Policy), the violations are listed below
A._
Failure to Properly Torque Fasteners
' Unit 2 Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be
-established, implemented, and maintained' covering the activities recommended =in Appendix A of Regulatory ' Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Appendix A,. Item 8, includes' procedures for control of measuring and test equipment and for surveillances tests, procedures, and calibration.
Plant Procedure 1025.020, " Bolting and Torquing Guidelines,"
has been established in accordance with this Technical Specification
' requirement.
Paragraph 8.4 2.A,3 of Plant Procedure 10251020 requires the indicated torque be corrected in accordance with Attachment 4 when using a universal joint that extends the point of applied to_rque.
Contrary to the above"on;0ctober-2, 1989, the inspector observed the use of a universal joint when torquing fasteners on the, fuel injector collar plates for-Emergency Diesel Generator-2K-4B.without the indicated torque being corrected.
This is a Severity Level IV violation'.
(Supplsment I)'(368/8940-01)
B.
Failure to Meet TS Requirements Unit 2 Technical' Specification 3.3.1, for reactor protective
' instrumentation states, "As a minimum, the reactor protective
- instrumentation channels and bypasses of Table 3.3.1 shall be Operable...."
Table 3.3.1 states that for Modes 3, 4, and 5, at least two i
. logarithmic (LOG) power level channels shall be operable.

Contrary to the above,fonl0ctober 4 'and 5,1989, less than two log power levelschannels were operable ~in that all.four channels had been removed from service for maintenance du. ring a-refueling outage.
This is a Severity Level IV' violation'.
(5'upplement I)-(368/8940-02)
L C.7 Failure to Maintain Appropriate Plant Procedures 2
~
- Unit-2 Technical Specifisation 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended ~in Appendix; A of? Regulatory Guide 1.33,. Revision 2, February 1978.. Appendix A, Item 8, includes procedures for control of measuring and. test equipment-and for surveillance tests, procedures, and calibrations'. -In addition,' Appendix A,: Item 9, includes procedures for
. performing' maintenance.
Plant Procedure 2306.005, "18 Month Surveillances on Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generator 2K-4," and 2406.096, "2BS-1A/B Disassembly, Inspection.and' Reassembly," and Plant Procedure 1025.020,.
'" Bolting and Torquing Guidelines," have been' established in-accordance
. ith.this TechnicaliSpecification requirement.
w p
' Contrary to.the above, written procedures applicable to TS 6.8.1 were not appropriately-maintained as described in the four examples discussed below:
'I.
Stepf8.3.10 of Plant Procedure 2306.005 requires torquing of-
' fasteners lto 37 ft.lbs. for the reinstallation of the emergency diesel generator (EDG) fuel injector nozzles. The Fairbanks Morse
? technical manual for the EDG specifies a torque valve of 20-25 ft.lbs. for these fasteners.
2.
Step 8.3.1 of Plant Procedure 2306.005 requires a test pressure of 30-50 psiglfor'the hydrostatic pressure' test'of the EDG engine jacket water system. The Fairbanks Morse technical' manual for the EDG specifies a hydrostatic pressure of 50 psig for this test.
' 3.-
Steps 8.3.12 and 8.3.17 of Plant Procedure 2402.096 requires torquing of the--bearing cover fasteners to 160. f t.lbs. and cover plate F
fasteners to-243 ft.lbs, for Valves 2BS-1A/1B (refueling water tank-discharge check valves). The Atwood and Morrill technical manual that was used to obtain'this-information is not' applicable to
-Valves 2BS-1A and'1B. The. correct torque values for the bearing a
cover fasteners is 35 ft.lbs. and 305 ft.lbs. for the cover plate j
fasteners as noted in the= vendor manual for this type of valve.
4.
Step 8.4.2.A.3 of Plant Procedure 1025.020 requires that the indicated v
- torque be corrected in accordance with Attachment 4 when using a
, universal joint that extends the point of applied torque. However, does not provide instructions for correcting the applied torque for universal joints.
In the' aggregate, these examples constitute a Severity Level IV violation.
