During an NRC inspection conducted on October 12 through November 23, 1993, a' violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the " General

. Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, r

Appendix C (1993), the violation is listed below:

[

Technical Specification 6.2.1 requires that written procedures including applicable checkoff lists covering normal startup, operation, and shutdown of the reactor and other systems and components involving nuclear safety to the facility shall be prepared, implemented, and maintained.

Zion Administrative Technical Specification 3.15.1 requires that fuel l

movements be suspended if all emergency diesel generators to a unit are inoperable.

]

Zion administrative procedure 300-06A " Returning Equipment to Service" requires that, upon completion of work, the out-of-service cards be removed before the activity is cleared in the outage editor ano before closing out PT-14 " Inoperable Equipment Surveillance Tests."

l Contrary to the above:

not suspended when all Unit 1 emergency diesel generators were rendered inoperable due to the isolation of service water to the generators.

This-is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Zion Nuclear Generating Station is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
