A.
10 CFR 50.59 provides for " changes in the facility as described in the safety analysis report...without prior Commission approval, unless the proposed change, test or experiment involves a change in the technical specifications incorporated in the license or an unreviewed safety question." Further, records of changes in the facility and of changes in procedures made pursuant to this section shall be maintained and in-clude written safety evaluations which provide the bases for the detemi-nation that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
Technical Specification 6.5.1.6 also requires, "The OSC to be responsible for:
review of all proposed changes or modifications to plant systems or equipment that affect nuclear safety."
Contrary to the above, the licensee could not provide written safety evaluations for determining that changes made to the facility by in-stallation of jumpers or lifting of leads during the years 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981, did not involve an unreviewed safety question.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation. (Supplement I)
B.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained.
The BVPS Operating fianual, Section 1.48.5.D, " Control of Temporary Jumpers and Lifted Leads, Issue 1, Revision 8," requires that a Jumper /
Lifted Lead Log be maintained including" "Section 2.b.10) Date jumper removed / lead replaced.
11)
Initials of technician who removed the jumper /
replaced lead 12)
Initials of Shift Supervisor approving work."
Section 2.c further requires that the Shift Supervisor "...must also grant permission to remove the jumper or attach the lead when the reason for the installation no longer exists..."
Contrary to the above, on October 18, 1981, it was found that Jumper / Lifted Lead Log Tag Hos.1972 (Control Area Ventilation) and 2218 (Containment
(
Depressurization System) had been removed without completion of the re-emcry quired authorization-and log ent ries.-
