I APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Arkansas Power and Light Company Dockets: 50-313/83-10 Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 50-368/83-10 Licensee: DPR-51 NPF-6 Based on the results'of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of May 1-31, 1983, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), 47 FR 9987, dated March 9,1982, the following violations were identified:
A.
Failure to Follow Procedures for Proper Labeling of Radioactive Waste -
Unit 1 Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering... a. The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix 'A' of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November, 1972. "
Radiation Protection Procedure 1622.008, Rev. 3, " Marking and Handling of Radioactive Materials and Equipment," has been established in accordance with this Technical Specification.
Step 6.6.1 of Procedure 1622.008 requires that, " Radioactive material which may present a personnel safety hazard or require extra precautions prior to packaging for shipping offsite shall be labeled as follows....
toe... liquid nature (water, oil) should be clearly denoted on the oJtside of the container."
Step 6.7.1 of Procedure 1622.008 requires that, " Drums used as storage containers for radioactive material shall be surveyed and tagged for any of the following conditions:... B.
The drum at contact is 5 mr/hr or greater.... C.
The drum is to be left unattended outside the work area."
Contrary to the above, on May 9,1983, the NRC inspector identified six 55-gallon drums containing radioactive oil that had no markings on them indicating the liquid nature (oil) of their contents and that were not properly tagged (three had no tags on them; three had tags that.were not
. filled out). These six 55-gallon drums were left unattended outside the Unit I reactor building equipment hatch, and two of the six drums had radiation levels at contact in excess of 5 mrem /hr.
This is a Severity Level V Violation.

Use of Inadequate Procedure to'Perfonn Maintenance - Unit 1 Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering... a.
The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix 'A' of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November,1972."
Mechanical Maintenance Procedure 1402.09, Rev. O, " Emergency Feedwater Pump Maintenance," has been established in accordance with this Technical Specification.
Contrary to the above, Procedure 1402.09 was not adequately maintained as demonstrated by the following:
a.
On May 24, 1983, section 8.8 of Procedure 1402.09 was issued and performed on the motor-driven emergency feedwater pump, P7B, although that section of the procedure had been previously determined by the licensee to be inadequate. Section 8.8 provides instructions for the proper adjustment of the balance drum and replacement of the thrust bearing for the emergency feedwater pumps. The licensee had reported on May 2,1983, in Unit I licensee event report (LER) 83-10 that on April 5,1983, the steam-driven emergency feedwater pump, P7A, had been rendered inoperable due to the improper performance of the balance drum adjustments, which, in turn, was attributed to the fact that "... the procedure did not contain detail (sic) instruc-tions for performing this activity." The licensee's indicated cor-rective action in LER 83-10 was to revise the applicable sections of Procedure 1402.09; however, the revision had not been implemented prior to the use of the procedure on May 24, 1983.
b.
On April 7, 1983, a change (Permanent Change 6) to Procedure 1402.09 was inadequately implemented.
Permanent Change (PC) 6 was imple-mented after receiving the required approvals and reviews, but it contained a technical error that rendered Procedure 1402.09 inade-quate.
The purpose of PC 6 was to change the critical gap clear-ance for the emergency feedwater pump balance drum setting from 0.002" - 0.005" to 0.0005" - 0.002".
However, PC-6 made the change in only one of two procedural steps requiring it, thereby providing the potential for the incorrect adjustment of the balance drum.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.

Failure to Maintain Fire Barrier Operable - Unit 2 Unit 2 Technical Spe'cification 3.7.11 requires that all penetration fire barriers protecting safety-related areas be functional or a continuous fire watch must be established on at least one side of the affected penetration within one hour.
The Unit 2 penetration fire barrier between the emergency feed-water pump (2P7A) room and the spent fuel pool pump (2P40B) room (identified on drawing F2300 as wall 23-S-7) was discovered _ to be nonfunctional by the NRC inspector on May ll, 1983, due to the fact that a 4-1/2 inch penetration through the wall was not sealed.
Contrary to the above, on May 11, 1983, although the penetration through wall 23-S-7 had not been sealed for at least one hour, the NRC inspector found that no fire watch was stationed.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
