APPEND 1X A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Entergy Operations, Inc.

Docket No.:

50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License No.:

NPF-38 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 18 through November 28, 1992, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, f

Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

A.

Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the. licensee's approved quality assurance program description require that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by, and accomplished in accordance with, documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of-a type appropriate to the circumstances.

Administrative Procedure UNT-007-003, Revision 8, " Control of Consumable Materials," exempts the control room from its consumable material control requirements and requires that only approved consumables of the Plant Consumable Materials Report be used in the-consumable materials-controlled area, which includes the reactor auxiliary building.

Contrary to the above, two examples of failure to properly implement the consumable control program were identified.

1.

On October 25, 1992, a licensed operator used 'a commercial contact cleaner for coin machines and electronic equipment to clean Engineered Safeguards Control Panel CP-8.

This caused damage to 16 safety-related control switches, making the switches inoperable. This action was not controlled or prevente:! by documented instructions or procedures. ' Procedure UNT-007-003 was inadequate in that the control room was exempted from-its requirements.

2.

On November 17, 1992, the inspector found a tube of qlue and a can of odor counteractant in Switchgear Room B in the renctor auxiiiary building, and on November 19, 1992, the ir.::pector found a can of insecticide in the main steam isolation valve room (also part of the reactor auxiliary building).

None of these products were on the Plant Consumable Materials Report.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.
