i APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION s
Public Service Company Fort St. Vrain of Colorado Docket:
50-267/82-08 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of March 1-31, 1982, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66745 (October 7,1980), the following violations were identified:
A.
Technical Specification 7.4.a, " Procedures, Administrative Controls,"
states in part that, "... written procedures shall be established, implenented, and maintained...."
Health Physics Procedure HPP-9, " Establishing and Posting Controlled Areas," Issue 3, dated February 25, 1981, states in part:
"2.5 Controlled areas shall be clearly marked in accordance with the procedure and adequately surveyed to insure that the boundaries established completely define the controlled area and that no loose surface contamination, airborne activity, excessive radiation streaming, etc. exists immediately outside the local boundary...
"5.3 Contaminated Area 5.3.1 Establish a perimeter with a convenient point of access.
5.3.2 At the point of access, tape to the floor a piece of absorbent paper to be used as a control point.
5.3.3 If radiation levels are low enough to obtain a valid response, a Frisker will also be located at the Control Point.
3 5.3.4 For abnormal conditions such as a radioactive liquid spill, the magenta and yellow barrier rope or tape will serve as an appropriate radiation caution.
For longer lasting conditions, conspicuously post signs on the rope which bear the radiation caution symbol and the words:
CAUTION: CONTAMINATED AREA 5.3.5 On the signs indicate the maximum contamination levels, i
time, date, initials, and requirements for entry."

2 Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined that the cuntrolled area established March 4, 1982, on Level 55 of the Reactor Building at the area around the B-5 PCRV penetration was not adequately surveyed, a control point was not established as required, and the posting of the area was not in accordance with approved procedures.
}
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement IV.D.l.)
I I
Technical Specification LCO 4.8.1, " Radioactive Gaseous Effluent, Limiting Conditions for Operation," states in part that:
8.
The release of gaseous and airborne particulate effluents "a) shall be made on an isotopic basis...."
Technical Specification 7.4.a, " Procedures, Administrative Controls,"
. written procedures shall be established, states in part that, "..
implemented, and maintained...."
Administrative Procedure P-4, " Surveillance Testing," If, sue 3, dated October 26, 1981, states in part:
Section 5.0 requires an entry by a Test Conductor in "e) each step performed in the body of the procedure...
In addition, each page of the procedure Section 5.0 shall be signed and dated by a Test Conductor...
"A Test Conductor's initials or signature is verification that:
Each step so marked has been completed satisfactorily.
1)
- 2) The page signed has been completed with all required data entered."
Surveillance Test SR 5.8.labc-M for Radioactive Gaseous Release number 592 from ' A' Receiver T-6303, Section 5.0 states in part:
Valve lineups complete and attached for release per:
"39.
attached sheet from SOP-63...."
Contrary to the above, the licensee determined on March 6, 1982, that even though the surveillance SR 5.8.labc-M had been signed off verifying proper valve lineup prior to the radioactive gaseous release, a valve was found improperly positioned which caused an This resulted in overpressurization of the vacuum tank T-6301.
f the rupture of the tanks rupture disk and the excessive gas pres-sure relieving through the associated safety valve followed by

a subsequent inadvertent release; including gaseous and airborne particulate effluents for which an isotopic analysis had not been made.
t This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement I.E.)
C.
Technical Specification 7.4.a. " Procedures, Administrative Controls,"
i states, in part, that, "... written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained...."
j Administrative Procedure P-1, " Plant Operations," Issue 5, dated February 19, 1982, states, in part:
i "4.5.2 Personnel responsible for obtaining data are required to assure that:
"2) A verification check is performed at least once each shift to assure pens are inking and recorders reading properly."
Contrary to the above, on March 12, 1982, at 6:30 a.m. MST, the NRC inspector determined that recorder RR 93256, " Effluent Activity Monitors," had not been reading properly since approximately 6:45 p.m.
MST, March 11, 1982.
This is a Severity Level V Violation.
(Supplement I.E.)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Company of Colorado is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of this l
Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:
(1) the i
corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
