" Technical Specification 6.7.la requires that written procedures be establishni, implemented, and maintained covering activities delineated in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33. Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, delineates the types of safety-related activities that should be covered by written procedures and includes procedures for startup, operation, shutdown, and procedures for performing maintenance.
Operations Procedure 13145-2, Diesel Generators, Revision 10, Section 4.4.2, Emergency Stopping Train A(B) Diesel Generator, provides the steps for securing the diesel generators from an emergency start.
Contrary to the above, Procedure 13145-2, Diesel Generators, was inadequate, in that,it did not provide adequate instructions to shutdown the diesel from an emergency start resulting in an inadvertent restart of diesel generator 2B on September 15,-1990.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I)."
