i APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION t

Houston Lighting & Power Company Docket: 50-499 i South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, License: NPF-80 ,

Unit 2 .

During an NRC inspection conducted on December 13 through 17, 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, Appendix C, the violation is listed below.

A. Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained, including the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Item 9.a of Appendix A includes procedures for performing maintenance. Paragraph 3.7.2.5 of Procedure OPGP03-ZA-0090, Revision 7, dated August 24, 1993, " Work Process Program," requires that the work supervisor shall conduct a ,

prejob briefing prior to work start. Step 3.7.2.16 of this procedure, states, in part, " Work group personnel shall verify that station component identification matches the component specified as requiring' i

maintenance in the work document."

Contrary to the above, the following two examples of failure to follow the requirements of the work process program procedure were identified. ,

1. On December 6 and 7, 1993, craft personnel did not receive pre-job briefings for the performance of two temperature switch calibrations (Preventive Maintenance Tasks IC-2-HG-89002458 and IC-2-HM-87004581). As a result, the different quality classes of the two temperature switches and the reasons for keeping them ,

segregated, and precautions related to working the switch in the .

diesel generator room without electrical isolation were not addressed.

2. On November 22, 1993, valve maintenance technicians failed to verify that the station component identification tag on Motor-operated Valve Actuators 2SI-MOV-0001A and 2SI-M0V-00018 matched  ;

the component specified as requiring maintenance in Service Requests 208071 and 208072, respectively. This resulted in the technicians working on the wrong valve operators, one of which was '

energized.  ;

These two examples constitute one Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) c (50-499/9354-01). P Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Houston Lighting & Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. j Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.
