.Y[gf all.qg19palQ:p) _ty-Qg 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Critorion V, and the licenseo's accepted Quality Assuranco Program (Duko Topical Report, Duko A), Section 17.3.2.14, require that activitios affecting quality shall be proscribod by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, proceduros, or drawings.
The licensee's proceduro. Station Directivo 2.8.1, Problem investigation Process, paragraph 5 2.5.2.2 requires that a Problem investigation Report (PIR) iosolution be sufficiently detailed to clearly identify the root cause, when possibfe, and identify actions necessary to prevent recurrence.
Contrary to the above, on November 5, t 992, the licensee completed PIR-0-MD2-0140 without identilying a root cause or actions necessary to prevent recurrence. This resulted in no preventive correctivo actions being implemented as a result of a wiring configuration control problem affecting operability of a radioactivo effluent monitor.
This is a Severity Level IV (Supplement I) Violation, kply to Viglatipn 369.370/92-20-02 1.
Braign_(QLit e viola 1690; l
The reason for the violation was the individual who was performing the root cause determination f ailed to follow existing guidelines even though hc had been trained in root causo determinations.
Additionally, individuals reviewing and approving this root cause determination Miled to identify the root cause for this PIR as inadoquato. Therefore, PIR 0-M92-0140 did not have an adequato root cause determination documented as required by Station Directivo 2.8.1, Problem Investigation Process.
