. , Attachment OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT'S RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION, INSPECTION REPORT 83-11 VIOLATION Failure to Follow Procedures Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that " written pro-cedures . . . be established, implemented, and maintained that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of Section 5.1 l and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972, "

and Appendix A of USNRC Regu-latory Guide 1.33. . . .

Standing Order G-7 established the Operating Manual and states in Section 1.3 that " adherence to (the) Operating Manual is mandatory."

Standing Order 0-40 establishes a procedure for disabling

. annunciators due to maintenance or operating problems.

Section 3.2 states that for each annunciator removed from service "an entry will be_made in the Annunciator Status Log," and Section 3.4 states that "when an annunciator is returned to service, the entry in the Annunciator Status Log will be closed out."

Contrary to the above, on April 4, 1983, it was determined that (1) Annunciator All-ASL was cleared in the log, but the annunciator card was not in and an open maintenance ordeg (MO) was referenced on the tag; and (2) Annunciators A13-ySU, A2-C3L, and A2-C4L cards were pulled and stickers attached to the alarm windows, but no log entries were made.

l t This is a Severity Level IV Violation.

RESPONSE

1) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieyed.

At the time the NRC inspector determined that a vio-lation condition existed, he notified the licensce.

Immediately, the discrepancies between the Annunciator

, , Status Log and the subject annunciator cards were cor-

, rected to ensure compliance with Standing Orders G-7 and 0-40. These actions placed the District in full ,

compliance with Standing Orders G-7 and 0-40, t

, ,- 2) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations.

, A review of the applicable procedures, Standing Orders G-7 and 0-4C., indicated that they are sufficient to control'annuaciator status. It appears tha,t the vio-lation is a case of failure on the part of the oper-ationa staff to follow plant procedures. Since the applicable procedures provide sufficient control, no procedure changes are warranted. However, a letter has been issued from the Operations Supervisor to the operations staff outlining this Notice of Violation and re-emphasizing the need for strict procedural compliance.

3) The date when full compliance will be achieved.

The Fort Calhoun Station is presently in full com-pliance, i
