- Enclosure C321-92-2108 Page 2 VIOLATION:
^
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements of Regulatory Guide (Reg Guide) 1.33, Revision 2, Quality Assurance Program Requirements (0peration).
Reg Guide 1.33, Appendix A, recommends that procedures should be provided for the control of equipment (e.g., locking and tagging).
Section 4 of Oyster Creek Procedure 108, " Equipment Control" Revision 53, notes that the "...
impact-of (switching and tagging) outages on current equipment lineups shall be assessed when work has been completed, grounds are cleared, and tags are released," and that " lineups shall not be performed on equipment or-portions of systems while they are tagged out for maintenance or modification "
Contrary to the above, appropriate equipment control was not maintained in that system lineups were performed on the emergency service water (ESW) system 1 and 2 on June 3, 1991, and June 8, 1991, respectively, while power supply breakers to the ESW discharge to canal valves (\\!-3-87 and V-3-88) were tagged and racked out for a modification to remove the valve operators.
The lineup was not checked after subsequent removal of the tags.
As a result, actual breaker position was contrary to the indicated breakt position on the control room system lineup documentation from June 14, 1501 until January 16, 1992.
This is a severity level IV violation (Supplement 1).
RESPONSE
GPUN concurs with the violation as stated.
The reason for the violat La is as follows:
Prior to the removal of tags controlled in outages 91-1492 and.91-1553, a control room operator failed to verify the tagged components " Removed Position". The " Removed. Position" as listed on the switching and tagging removal work sheet, should have been checked against the applicable system lineup sheets.
The following corrective action was initiated:
Changes to the Electrical Check Off Lists for Containment Spray Systems 1 and 2 in Procedure 310 were made.
The changes corrected the breaker i
positions for valves V-3-87 and V-3-88.

d Enclosure C321-92-2108 Page 3 To avoid further violations, the following corrective actions will be initiated:
a)
Operations management will use this event as a specific oxample in developing a training lecture which provides
((1 expectations related to procedural compliance and attention to detail. This lecture, given by Operations management, will be prestated to licensed operators during the current requal training cycle.
b)
Procedure 108 is 1resently under revision. Training is currently being g ver on +he proposed revision to Procedure 108.
c)
A copy of the Notite of Violation along with the applicable sections of Procedure 108 will be issued as required reading to the appropriate Operations personnel.
Full compliance was acheived on January 16, 1992, when Procedure 310 was temp-changed to reflect the correct position (closed) of the breakers.
The temp-change is now incorporated in a permanent revision to procedure 310.
