SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/93-32 (NOTICE OF VIOLATION)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. E. J. Ford and
Ms. J. L. Dixon-Herrity of this office on September 19 through
October 30, 1993.
The inspection included a review of activities authorized
for your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, facility. At the
conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members
of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures-
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection was to determine
whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain licensed activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation is of concern because the continuous
failure to follow a system operating procedure and' return a deviated valve to
its normal locked closed position resulted in the failure of the automatic
makeup for the-ultimate heat sink, allowing the ultimate heat sink water level
to fall below the Technical Specification requirement.
The valve had been
deviated open and not questioned since August 17, 1993.
A second violation was identified that involved the failure to promptly
identify and document the failure of a valve to stroke as required by the
Technical Specification. This violation is considered to be a second example
of the apparent violation identified in NRC Inspection Report 50-382/93-33,
which involved the failure to promptly identify and correct the inoperability
of containment spray Valve CS-125A. This violation is of concern because your
failure to promptly identify the inoperable status of Valve MS-120B and to
enter this inoperability into your corrective action system is. indicative of a
continuing problem to properly implement your corrective action system.
With respect to the first violation, you are required to respond to this
letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice
9312070080 931129

corrective %.tions as a part of your response to the violation identified in
