ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Veterans Administration Docket No: 50-131 Medical Center License No: R-57 l l During an NRC inspection conducted on August 26-29,1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and 3 1
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the vio',ation is listed below-l f Technical Specification 6.7 requires, in part, that there shall be written operating
! procedures that cover the surveillance, testing, and calibration of instruments, components, and systems involving nuclear safety.
l Contrary to the above, written standard operating procedures have not been established for some surveillances required by Section 4 of the Technical Specifications. No procedures were available to provide guidance for nuclear safety I systems involving the measurement of scram times, testing of pool level channel operability, and verification of ventilation system operability.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement l}(50-131/96-02).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or I include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. However,if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the mformation from the public.
Dated at Arlington, Texas this 23rd day of September 1996 l f
