During verification of the AWO and the tagging, the following allegedly discrepant conditions were identified:

1. the wrong procedure was referenced in the AWO; vibration data procedure rather than the grounding of metal-clad switchgear procedure.

2. the motor heaters were not tagged

3. the* refuel- heat" drain transfer was tagged in the wrong position

4. the AWO did not allow for grounding of the switchgear even though this is a necessary first step to disconnecting the motor.

Please address these discrepant conditions. If tagging discrepancies are identified, please discuss whether or not this is a recurring condition that may require corrective action.
