SUBJECT:
Farley Nuclear Plant NRC Inspection Of March 6, 1983 - April 10, 1983 RE: Report No. 50-348/83-09 Report No. 50-364/83-07
Dear Mr. Lewis:
This letter refers to the violations in the subject inspection report which states:
"As a result of the inspection conducted on March 6 - April 10,1983 and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9, 1982), the following violations were identified.
A.
Technical Specification 3.7.12 requires that all fire barrier penetrations (including cable penetration barriers, fire doors and fire dampers) in the fire zone boundaries protecting safety-related areas shall be functional.
Contrary to the above, on April 4,1983 at 9:05 a.m.,
fire door No. 214, Unit 1 Piping Penetration Room was found to be blocked open with a roll of masking tape. A fire watch had not been post-ed nor was an hourly fire patrol established."
Admission or Denial The above violation occurred as described in the subject report.

Mr. R. C. Lewis June 8, 1983 Page Two Reason for Violation This violation was due to personnel error. A thorough investiga-tion and discussion with personnel in the affected room has not revealed the time at which the door was blocked open or the per-sonnel responsible.
Corrective Actions Taken and Results Achieved This incident will be discussed with Operations, Building and Grounds, C&HP, Maintenance, Systems Performance, Plant Maintenance Support and Modification, Security and Storeroom personnel empha-sizing that fire doors should not be left blocked open unless a continuous fire watch is established and that it is everyone's re-sponsibility to insure that fire doors are closed unless properly J
attended.
Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Violations See above. All corrective action is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1983.
Date of Full Compliance April 4,1983.
"B.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires in part, that written pro-cedures shall be established, implemented and maintained.
Contrary to the above:
(1) On February 17, 1983, diesel generator 1-C day tank level was not calibrated within the required time period as specified in FNP-0-BMP-1, Preventive Maintenance Proce-l dure; (2) On March 31,1983 at 3:15 p.m. recycle evaporator vent l
condenser vent valve (V394) was found open and unlocked. The l
evaporator had been shut down on the evening of March 29, 1983.
l This was not in accordance with FNP-2-80P-2.2, Rev. 4, Recycle Evaporator Operation, which requires that valve No. V394 be shut I
and locked upon shutdown of the equipment; and (3) Inadvertent start of 1-C diesel generator caused by removing test instrumenta-tion leads following surveillance testing.
No specific directions or precautions were included in FNP-1-57P-256.15, Rev. 3, Loss of Off Site Power Response Time Test, on how equipment or lead remov-al was to be accomplished."

Mr. R. C. Lewis June 8, 1983 Page Three Admission or Denial The above violation occurred as described in the subject report.
J Reason for Violation The three aspects of the violation were due to:
(1) A failure to follow the preventive maintenance program requirements to recali-brate the instrument loop prior to expiration of the calibration date; (2) personnel error; and (3) test leads at the Sequence of Events Recorder were disconnected prior to disconnecting field leads.
Inadvertent shorting of two leads started diesel generator IC.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved Corrective action and results achieved for the three aspects of this violation are:
(1) diesel generator 1C Day Tank level instrument loop was recalibrated on February 19, 1983, two days following discovery (WA 26848). All other diesel generator tank instruments were surveyed and recalibrated if necessary. More emphasis has been placed on keeping the preventive maintenance
-program current, with particular emphasis on instruments used for Tech. Spec. surveillance of other plant equipment; (2) the valve was repositioned and locked per procedure following discovery.
The individual involved was counseled for failure to follow procedures on 4-29-83; and (3) the technician involved was instructed in the proper procedure for disconnecting test cables.
The procedure, FNP-1-STP-256.15, was revised to include a precaution to avoid recurrence. The equivalent Unit 2 procedure will be revised.
Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Violations See above. All corrective action is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1983.
Date of Full Compliance Februa ry 19, 1983.
Affi rmation I affirm that this response is true and complete to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
