A.
Technical Specification 6.8.A states that " Written procedures and admini-strative policies shall be established, implemented and maintained that j

of ANSI N18.7-1972..." Section 5.1 of ANSI N18.7-1972 requires that written administrative policies shall be provided to control the issuance of docu-i ments, including changes, that prescribe activities affecting safety-related structures, systems, or components...".
Station Procedure No.1.5.3, " Maintenance Requests", Revision 13, requires that "... plant modifications shall be implemented with the requirements of the ' Approved for Implenentation' Plant Design Change Request (Procedure
- 1. 3.13 )".
Procedure No.1.3.13. " Plant Design Changes", Appendix B, states that "the nroper method of handling... field revisions is discussed in Procedure 1.3.27".
Procedure No.1.3.27, " Field Revision Notice", Revision

Contrary to the above, on June 9,1981, a radioactive liquid discharge of the Waste Neutralizing Sump was nede (licensee's permit ib. 81-07) to the discharge canal without passing through the radwaste discharge line and therefore without being continuously monitored and controlled by the gross activity monitor, recorder, automatic closing valves, and without the flow rate being continuously recorded.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).
