p APPENDIX A-NOTICE _OF_ VIOLATION Houston' Lighting & Power Company Dockets: 50-498
, South Texas Project Units 1 and 2 50-499 Operating Licenses: NPF-76 y
HPF-80 o
During an. inspection conducted on January 8-12, 1990, violations of HRC requirements were identified. The violations involved the failure to
~
incorporate design requirements into insta11etion procedures, the failure to have measures which would prevent the inadvertent use of incorrect parts, and-the closing of a nonconformance resort without performing the required corrective actions. In accordance wit 1 the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C (1989), the violations are listed below:
A.
Criterion III of Appendix 8 to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that measures shall be established to assure that the design basis is translated into the appropriate specifications, procedures, and instructions.
Contrary to the above, the design requirement for seismic retaining clips on Class IE electrical relays was not incorporated into installation instructions. associated with modifications made to provide remote shutdown capability of the emergency diesel generators (EDGs). This resulted in Class IE electrical relays in each of the six EDG cabinets having seismic retaining clips which were either loose or missing.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
(Supp1WentI)(498/9002-01; 499/9002-01)
B.
Criterion VIII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that measures be established to identify and control materials, parts, and components, in order to prevent the inadvertent use of incorrect material, parts, and components.
Section 9.0 in Operations Quality Assurance Plan requires that measures be established to identify the status of receipt inspected items in order to show the acceptability or nonacceptability of an item for installation or use.
Contrary to the above, certain fittings which had been procured as safety-related and meeting ASME Code Section III, Class 2, requirements, were commingled with like fittings which had been previously purchased as nonsafety-related. The HLLP part numbers, referred to as class / bins, and
> the material control codes were the same for both types of fittings, thereby creating a potential for inadvertent usage of nonsafety-related parts in safety-related applications.

C.
Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CTR Part 50, es implemented by s
Interdepartmental Procedure IP-4.1Q, requires that conditions adverse to quality such as deficiencies and nonconformances, be promptly identified and corrected, e;
Contrary to the above, an identified nonconforming condition was not corrected. Honconformance Report R87-92 was initiated as a result of received material having been procured incorrectly es nonsafety-related.
The_ disposition included an engineering requirement to test the material in order to verify that it met material specification requirements. The nonconformance report was closed out by stating that the material had been processed in accordance with the disposition, and the material was issued o
for use. However, inspector review identified that the required verification testing had not been perforned.
~
This is a Severity Level IV. violation.
