e APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Entergy Operations, Incorporated Docket:

50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License: NPF-38 During an NRC inspection conducted September 5 through October 1, 1990, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. The first violation involved failure to provide complete and accurate information to the NRC, and the second violation involved failure to follow procedures.

In accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990) (Enforcement Policy), the violations are listed below:

A.

Failure to Provide Complete and Accurate Information to the NRC 10 CFR Part 50.9(a) states, in part, that information provided to the NRC by a licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects.

Contrary to the above, on September 26, 1990, the inspector discovered' that the licensee failed to provide accurate information to the NRC in that ASME Code Section XI inservice test (IST) Relief Request 3.1.27 of the licensee's IST program (Revision 5) was granted by the NRC on February 7,1989, based on an incorrect justification provided by the licensee.

This i:, a Severity Level IV violation.

(Supplement I) (382/9022-02)

B.

Failure to Follow Procedure 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with prescribed procedures.

The licensee's Nuclear Operations Management Manual,Section V, Chapter 5, Revision 4, implements the above criterion.

Nuclear Operations Construction Procedure NOCP-207, Revision 3, " Erecting Scaffold," Section 5.1.13, requires an engineering evaluation of scaffold installations prior to erection when they need to be attached to equipment or supports / hangars.

Contrary to the above, on September 24, 1990, an engineering evaluation of a scaffolding installation, attached to equipment, was not performed prior to erection in that a scaffold was found attached to a cylinder access platform which, in turn, was attached to the A emergency diesel generator (EDG), without completing an engineering evaluation to determine the impact on EDG operability prior to erection of the scaffold.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.
