Renly to a Notice of Violation Violation: During an NRC inspection from March 5 - April 9, 1990, a violation of NRC requirements was identified in accordance with the ' General Statement of Policy and. Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,' 10CFR, Part 2. Appendix C. That violation is listed below: Technical Specification 4.6.1.3(a) requires in part that, following each closing of the containment air lock, operability shall be demonstrated within 72 hours. Contrary to the above, following the closing of the containment air lock on February 13, 1990, operability was not demonstrated until __ March 9, 1990, which exceeded the 72-hour requirement. Responbe: The activit es associated with the event have been evaluated to determine the i cause of the violation. It was determined that the on-shift Auxiliary Operator was not aware that a seal leak test was required following the opening of the equipment hatch air lock. The Control Room was notified that the Auxiliary Operator was going into the equipment hatch air lock, but the Operator in the Control Room misunderstood the information given and thought the personnel hatch air lock was being used. As a result of the above-stated violation, the following corrective actions have been initiated to preclude this event from recurring:

1. Signs will be placed on the containment hatches to remind personnel that a retest is required after containment hatch use and to notify the Control Room. This action is expected to be completed by June 30, 1990.
2. A training session will be developed and will be included as part of the bicensed Operator Requalification Program and the Auxiliary Operator Continuing Training Program. This training will discuss the missed surveillance and the related corrective actions. It is expected that this training will be complete by October 30, 1990.
3. The Security Department has been instructed to notify the Control Room daily of any containment air lock outer door opening.

Full compliance with Technical Specification 4.6.1.3(a) was achieved upon successful completion of the seal leakage test on March 9, 1990. _.._.}}
