On December 15, 1988, the licensee was issued Notice of Violation 482/8827-04, for failure to test certain safety-related check valves. On January 16, 1989, the licensee responded, stating that the check valves would be included in a testing program, and that by December 29, 1989, a review to identify similar components would be completed.
Contrary to the above, during the month of February 1990, while reviewing
- the licensee's corrective action for Violation 482/8827-04, the inspector i
. identified:
(1) that even though the check valves were added to the test i
program, four of them were not going to receive a test; and (2) there were other similar components-that should have been added to the testing program (e.g., air check valves to the main steam and main feedwater isolation valves) that the licensee failed to identify.
-This is~a Severity Level IV violation.

. Contrary to the above, on February 7,1990, the inspectors observed the turbine speed controller for the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump set so low as to make the pump incapable of performing its safety function, and no licensed operator (including the supervising operator) was aware of the pump's condition.
