" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:

A. Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 November 1972.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, requires specific procedures for equipment control.

Administrative Instruction 0AI 58 Equipment Clearance Procedure, implements the requirements of TS 6.8.1. 0AI-58 Section 5.4 requires a temporary tag lift request to be completed to allow a tag to be lifted to perform testing.

Contrary to the above, on August 21, 1996, while performing Periodic Test OPT 20.8.2, 1-CAC-AT 4410 Leak Test, a Reactor 0)erator positioned a Containment AtmosSheric Control sample select switc1 which was under clearance without t1e OAI 58 required temporary tag lift.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I). This is applicable to both Units.

B. Technical Saecification 6.8.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be establis1ed, implemented, and maintained covering the activities referenced in the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, dated November 1972. Paragraph A. of Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33 states that the licensee have administrative procedures concerning authorities and responsibilities for safe operation and shutdown.

TM 4.21, Revision 1, dated October 30, 1995. LSR0 to Refueling Training Program, paragraph 4.1.3.d. states, in part, that "each candidate will satisfactorily complete an Limited Senior Reactor Operator (LSR0) Qual card (TM 4.02.08) prior to the LSR0 Audit Examination."

Contrary to the above, on September 10, 1996, the NRC identified that the licensee failed to follow TM 4.21 in that one LSR0 candidate failed to complete the LSR0 training program prior to taking the LSR0 audit examination.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I). This is applicable to both Units.
