A_DMISSION OR' DENIAL'OF'THE ALLEGED VIOLATION.
South' Carolina Electric and-Gas' Company'is in~ agreement-with the alleged violation.
II.
REASON FOR'THE VIOLATION XVT-3016; is a one -(l) inch sample: isolation valve located on the Sodium Hydroxide 1(NAOH) Storage Tank.
The valve is not required to be locked for any plant. safety concerns; however, due to the corrosive characteristics of NAOH,-administrative controls were established on'.the valve position in Special Instruction ~(SI) 84-0 5, " Locked. Valve Control."
An investigation performed subsequent to the identification of the violation by the inu: Resident Inspector failed to determine exactly:when the locking device was removed.
However, the Licensee believes the noncompliance with SI 84-05 most likely occurred when a chemistry sample was obtained on April 13, 1984.. The violation is attributed to personnel error caused by a lack of coordination between Operations and Chemistry personnel.
III.
CORRECTIVE STEPS TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED A locking device was immediately installed on Sodium Hydroxide Tank Sample Isolation valve XVT-3016 af ter identification of the' noncompliance by the NRC Resident Inspector.
The installation of the locking device on July 6, 1984, reestablished administrative control of valve position.
e IV.
CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATION The following actions were taken to prevent further violation:
A.
Chemistry personnel were required to review the Locked' l
Valve Control program as identified in SI 84-05.
This j
review was completed on July. 20, 1984.
