l Violation:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, specifies that equipment control activities be covered by written procedures and endorses ANSI 18.7-19'6, Section 5.2.2, which requires procedures be followed.
Station Procedure 108, " Equipment control" provides the instructions, guidelines, and documentation for the installation and removal of leads controlled by a temporary variation.
I contrary to the above, electrical leads controlled by a temporary variation were installed and removed on September 21 and September 22, 1989, without adhering to the required instructions and guidelines and without the required documentation specified in Station Procedure 108.
Reenonces GPUN concurs in the violation as stated.
Due to a concern with a core spray pump supply breaker, a chart recorder had been installed in the core spray circuitry utilizing a Temporary Variation for configuration control.
The Group Shif t Supervisor (GSS) recognized that the temporary variation would prevent the performance of a scheduled surveillance.
In an attempt to minimite the paperwork necessary to remove and reinstall the Temporary Variation, the GSS utilized a written tag out to remove and reinstall a portion of the variation.
Procedure 108, " Equipment control" does not contain provisions for modifying installed temporary variations.
A critique was conducted.
It was determined that the root cause of the i
procedural violation was an inadequacy in procedure 108.
A memorandum was l
issued to all GSS and Group operating Supervisors (GOS) reinforcing that procedure 108 did not allow temporarily lifting a Temporary Variation.
To preclude recurrence of this type of event, a revision to procedure 108 will be issued to incorporate appropriate measures allowing for the removal and reinsta11ation of a portion of a Temporary Variation.
Full compliance was achieved with the issuance of the memorandum reinforcing procedural requirements to GSS and GoS personnel on December 18, 1989.
