APPENDIX A
'
Mississippi Power and Light Company
Docket No. 50-416
,
Grand Gulf 1
License No. CPPR-118
As a result of the inspection conducted on November 9-12, 1981, and in accordance
with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 65754 (October 7,1980), the following
'
violation was identified.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V and the implementing section of the
Operational Quality Assurance Manual, MP&L-Topical-1, paragraph 5 . 4 .- 1
require activities affecting quality be performed in accordance with
documented instructions, procedures or drawings. Grand Gulf Startup Manual,
Section SUM 5000, paragraph 4.4.3 states that Bechtel CTO and Construction
personnel are only permitted to perform testing or work functions on systems
turned over to MP&L under the authority of a Construction Work Permit (CWP).
Contrary to the above, during the period of June 22 and September 19, 1981,
local leak rate testing was performed by Bechtel CTO personnel, without the
authority of a CWP, on systems that had been turned over to MP&L. Examples
>
!
of systems turned over to MP&L included RHR, RWCU, Component Cooling, Plant
Chilled Water, RCIC, Demineralized Water, Fuel Pool Cooling and Standby
Service Water Systems. The special test procedure, Containment Local Leak
,
Rate (LLRT) Testing,1-M61-ST-01, Revision 2, as written and implemented is
_
contrary to the Grand Gulf Startup Manual (a higher '4e- document) in that
i
step 6.9.1- of 1-M61-ST-01 test procedure allows testing on systems turned
over to MP&L without the authority of a CWP.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II.E).
.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR'2.201, you are hereby required to submit to
this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or
j
explanation in reply, including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged viola-
tion; (2) the reasons for the violation if admitted; (3) the corrective steps
4
which have been taken and the results achieved; (4) corrective steps which will
be taken to avoid further violations; and (5) the date when full compliance will
be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good
cause shown.
Under the authority of Section- 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of
1
i
1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
