Georgia Power d U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Cmmission Office of Inspection and Enforcm ent, Region II February 8, 1984 Page 2 RESIONSE Admission or Denial of Alleged Violation:
n e violation occurred.
Reason for the violation:
%e Maintenance Rquest (MR) issued to control work on the residual heat rmoval systs testable check valve, 2 Ell-F050B, did not provide adquate instructions to ensure that the work was performed properly.
%e review process did not prevent the MR from being issued wi W inadequate instructions.
Personnel did nc,t perform an adqui.te functional test in accordance with MR 2-83-3188. As a result, the valve was returned to service with the air actuator air lines reversed.
Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved:
On October 28, 1983, during performance of the "RIIR VALVE OPERABILITY" procedure, personnel discovered that the air actuator air lines were reversed.
%e air lines were reinstalled properly and 2 Ell-F050B was satisfactorily tested and returned to service.
An investigation of this event determined the need for generic corrective actions to prevent the future issuance of MR's with l
inadquate work instructions and functional tests.
l Interim Corrective Actions:
On January 30, 1984, a Managment Overview Cmmittee was established to review all safety-related MR's for proper work instructions and adequacy of functional test rquirments prior to work being performed.
The cmmittee is made up of selected senior personnel frm the Engineering, Operations, Quality Assurance and Quality Control Departments.
Standing Order 84-5, issued January 31, 1984, provides direction as to the function of the Managment Overview Cmmittee in the review process.

Georgia Power 1 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Ccmnission Office of Inspection and Enforcenent, Region II February 8, 1984 Page 3 All safety-related MR's processed after January 30, 1984, are being reviewed by the ccanittee.
Energency work (i.e.,
applicable to plant safety, plant shutdown, or public safety) covered by MR's can be aprmved by the Hatch Duty Officer or Operation Supervisor on shift if thu sty Officer cannot be contacted.
Comittee review of these MR's will be perfomed on the next regularly scheduled work day.
As of February 3, 1984, all safety-related MR's with work in progress and work
(
not yet started will be returned and reviewed by the ccmnittee prior to work continuing.
Upon cmpletion of the work, the cammittee will perform a second review to assure adherence to the work instructions before the functional test is performed.
Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Future Violations:
ne entire maintenance work order process has been changed to require that all MR's pass through a centralized group for review and i
processing.
his group, Maintenance Planning and Scheduling, which consists of representatives frm Operations, Maintenance, Quality Control and Health Physics has been charged with the responsibility of l
i ensuring that all MR's contain sufficient information for work to be done properly and that functional tests are adeq uate.
In addition, briefing of maintenance supervisory personnel on the new process and requirenents was empleted by February 3,1984.
Until the new process l
can ensure an adequate MR review and processing, the Managenent overview Cmmittee will be responsible for reviewing safety-related MR's.
Date When Full Canpliance Was Achieved:
Full canpliance was achieved on February 3,
1984, when all safety related MR's, were placed under the control of the Managenent Overview Cmmittee.
