a.

The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A'.'

of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978."

Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, recommends, in part, the following procedures:

" Instructions for energizing, filling, venting, draining, startup, shutdown, and changing modes of operation should be prepared, as appropriate, for the following systems:

b.

Control Rod Drive System (including-part-length' rods)"

In accordance with the above requirement, Maintenance Procedure S023-I-3.13, " Control Element Assembly Ex-tension Shaft Coupling," was approved for use on February 11, 1982.

Step 6.9 of this procedure requires the following:

" Verify engagement by turning the hand wheel CU.until the maximum scale reading, located on the lifting screw assembly is attained and record on the Main-tenance Data Record Form, Exhibit B.

This numerical scale reading should be approxinately 12 higher (24 linear graduations) than that recorded in paragraph 6.5.

This difference represents the extension shaft weight."

4 Contrary to the above, on March 4, 1982, at approximately 11:00 am the inspector observed at least one occasion when an operating crew omitted Ctep.6.9 of Procedure j

S023-I-3.13 while latching CEA extension shafts.

. In responding to this item, the licensee is requested to address also the potentially causative factors of inadequate supervision, inadequate reference to pro-cedures (relative to training received), and failure to strictly follow instructions relating to recording of data.

10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion V states:

" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."

Contrary to the above, the licensce's Piping and Instrumentation (P& ids) did not show b' pass valves which were installed Drawings y

in parallel with valve numbers 16"-022-C and 16" -022-C and certain other large size valves; nor were the bypass valves referenced in the applicable procedures.

As a result, water of various boron concentrations entered the reactor coolant system via the open bypass valve around valve number 16"-022-C from about February 16, 1982 until about March 24, 1982, and identification of the source of the water was impaired because the bypass valves were not shown on the P& ids available in the Control Room, nor referenced in the applicable procedures.
