Union Electric Company Docket No. 50-483 l,
Callaway Plant License No. NF'F-30 i
During an NRC inspection conducted October 13 through November 23,1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy
,j and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," (60 FR 34381; June 30,1995) the j
violation is listed below:
I Callaway Plant Technical Specification 6.8.1 states, in part, that written procedures j
shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, l
February 1978.
I Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, 3.e requires, in part, that procedures be
+
written for component cooling water system startup, operation, and shutdown.
?
i j
Normal Operating Procedure OTN-EG-1, Revision 14, " Component Cooling Water,"
l was written to provide the appropriate operating instructions for the component l
cooling water system. Step 2.7 of this procedure stated that, during normal l
operation, the maximum component cooling water flow should not exceed 110 J
percent of the flow listed in Attachment 1 of the procedure.
i i
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspectors observed that Procedure OTN-EG-1 did j
not give appropriate instructions for proper system operation. Attachment 1 of the j
procedure listed minimum flow values only and not a range of flow rates. In addition, the procedure did not identify minimum system temperature and did not provide guidance on maintaining proper system temperature. The procedure was unclear as to the required flow rates to the various components (483/96011-01).

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
1 Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Union Electric Company is hereby required to j

\\ 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 esponse time.
Because the 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 reduction. However, if it is l
necessary to include such information, it should clearly indicate the specific information l
that should not be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support the request for withholding the information from the public.
