o Violation-Technical Specification 6.4.1 requires the station be_cperated and maintained in accordance with approved procedures for the normal startup, operation, and shutdown of the facility.
Contrary to the above,' operating procedures OP/3/A/1102/01, " Procedure for Unit Startup" and OP/0/A/1102/20, " Shift Turnover", were not followed in that the instrument air line manual isolation valves 3IA-90 and 3IA-91 were not closed and their status not detected during subsequent shift turnovers as required by the procedure.. Valves 3IA-90 and 3IA-91 were open from 8:00 p.m.,
December 6 to 3:00 p.m. December 12, 1982, while reactor conditions were 0
above 300 psig and 200 F.
During this period the valves should have been closed per the Technical Specification 3.6.1 and procedural requirements.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Response
1)
Admission or denial of the alleged violation:
This violation is correct as stated. Details of this occurrence were reported to NRC as Licensee Event Report R0-287/82-15, dated December 20, 1982.
.2)
Reasons for the violation:
This violation resulted from personnel error (incomplete review of the unit's outstanding items as required by turnover procedures), and from procedural deficiency (deletion of a Removal and Restoration audit from the precriticality check).
3)
Corrective actions taken and results:
a) The Shift Turnover Sheet has been revised to have the Unit Supervisor and Control Operator review the R&R Book each shift, and sign off specifically that the R&R Book has been reviewed. This will ensure that the Control Operator and Supervisor are aware of any existing
- problems, b)
The~ Shift Turnover Procedure has been revised to ensure that any equipment taken out of service which places the unit under an Action Statement of a Limiting Condition for Operation will be documented.
c) The Removal and Restoration procedure has been revised to show the plateau / time frame in which each R&R must be cleared prior to placing the unit in an Action Statement of a Limiting Condition for Operation.
d) The Startup and Trip Recovery procedures have been revised to ensure that the Turnover Sheets, Red Tag Log, White Tag Log, and the Removal and Restoration Book are reviewed just prior to criticality.
l
g,_,.
e) The Startup and Trip Recovery procedures have been revised to have the Unit Supervisor ensure that all Limiting Conditions for Operation as specified in Technical Specifications are either satisfied or properly documented on the SRO and KO Turnover Sheets just prior to criticality.
f) A training package has been issued stating that valves / equipment that have an R&R outstanding will be so noted on a checklist.
g) When it is required to open manual containment isolation valves above 200 F and 300#, a person will be stationed at the outside Reactor Building isolation valve. That person will be in direct-communication with the Control Room, and will be directed to close the valve should an accident occur.
h) All individuals responsible for personnel error associated with this event reviewed the incident report and were counseled as to their actions.
4)
Corrective actions to be taken to avoid further violations:
No further corrective actions are considered necessary to prevent recurrence.
5)
Date when full compliance will be achieved:
