SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-498/93-30; 50-499/93-30 (NOTICE OF
VIOLATION)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. D. P. Loveless, and the
inspectors identified in the attached report, of this office on August 15
through September 25, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities
authorized for your South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, 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, inspection of installed equipment and system
alignments, interviews with personnel, and observations 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 activities appeared to be in
violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice). The violation is of concern because safety-related
replacement parts were being issued to plant workers for installation without
proper engineering evaluation and modification.
Your response should include
a discussion of any necessary revisions to the modification process, and the
procedural controls that govern this process.
<
Additionally, two examples of failure to follow plant procedures were
identified.
The first example involved a breach of a heating, ventilation,
and air-conditioning boundary door without the issuance of a permit.
The
second example involved the failure of plant craftsmen to accept a clearance
order prior to working on a ventilation fan.
These violations are not being
cited because the criteria in paragraph VII.B.1 of Appendix C to 10 CFR Part 2
of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," were satisfied.
These violations were
isolated occurrences and the licensee staff took prompt and effective actions
to correct the problem.
