APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION i
i Entergy Operations, Incorporated Docket No.:
50-382 i
Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License No.: NPF-38 l
l During an NRC inspection nducted on September 19 through October 30, 1993, l
one violation of NRC requi ements was identified.
In accordance with the i
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below.
l A.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities j
i referenced in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, j
February 1978.
j Section 1 of Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires safety-related activities to be covered by written procedures, which includes maintenance of the ultimate heat sink.
j System Operation Procedure OP-003-004, Revision 6, " Condensate Makeup,"-
i requires that the recirculation header isolation valve, CMU-1131, be l
closed after transferring water from the demineralized water storage i
tank to the condensate storage tank.
l Contrary to the above, on August 17, 1993, Valve CMU-1131 was opened and I
left in the open position until October 19, 1993. As a result of this j
misalignment, the automatic makeup system for the safety-related wet cooling tower basins did not function as designed, allowing the level of the basins to decrease to a point below the Technical Specification required minimum level.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.
