NPF-58 I

During an NRC inspection conducted on July 30 through September 13, 1993, a i

In accordance with the " General l

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972.

Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 states that maintenance which can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be performed in accordance with written procedures or documented instructions appropriate to the circumstances.

Erection of scaffolds near safety-related equipment is maintenance which could affect the performance of safety-related equipment.

Procedure GCI-0016, Scaffolding Erection Guidelines, controls the erection of scaffolding. GCI-0016, Section 3.2.1, requires, in part, that scaffolding shall not be connected to or be in contact with any equipment unless provided for in Subsection 5.2.

Subsection 5.2.5 requires a clearance of three inches from all safety-related equipment unless approved by the Perry Nuclear Engineering Department.

In addition, Section 7.0 requires, in part, that the work supervisor initial and date the scaffolding Equipment Identification Tag, and annotate the tag to indicate that the scaffold was inspected and was in compliance with GCI-0016.

Contrary to the above:

A.

On August 31, 1993, scaffolding was found attached to the low pressure core spray instrument rack that had not been approved by the Perry Nuclear Engineering Department.

B.

On September 9,1993, scaffolding was found installed near the low pressure core spray instrumentation rack and in the Division I and Division III Emergency Diesel Generator rooms that did net have Equipment Identification Tags annotated to indicate that a work supervisor inspection had been conducted to verify that the scaffolding was in compliance with GCI-0016.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Centerior Service Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
