O APPENDIX A 4
Gulf States Utilities Docket:
50-458 River Bend Station License:
NPF-47 l
During an NRC inspection conducted November 1-30, 1969, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved failure to provide a
adequate control for material access to the containment.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C (1989) Enforcement Policy, the violation is listed below:
Failure To Provide Adequate Control For Material Access to the Containment The Code of Federal Regulations, in 10 CFR 50.59, allows a licensee to make changes to a facility as described in the safety analysis report provided the changes do not increase the probability of a malfunction of equipment important to safety.
Contrary to the above, on November 30, 1989, with the reactor at 97 percent thermal power, the licensee made a change to the f acility by placing materials in the containment which increased the probability of a malfunction of emergency core cooling systems during an accident in that the material could obstruct the flow path of those emergency systems that use the suppression pool as a source of cooling water for the reactor.
These materials included several hundred square feet of plastic sheeting, computer terminals, and tables located on a walkway directly over the suppression pool.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
