APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Kansas Gas and Electric Company Docket: 50-482/85-19

! . Wolf Creek Generating Station License: NPF-32 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of April 1 - 30, 1985, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy

'(10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), 49 FR 8583, dated March 8, 1984, the following violations were identified:

1. Failure to Properly Update Procedure Manuals 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI states, in part, " Measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, i

procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are distributed to and used at the location where the prescribed activity is performed."

Also, Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E) Administrative Procedure ADM 07-100, Rev. 24, states in part, in Section 5.5.1, " it is the responsibility of the manual holder to ensure procedures are updated on a regular basis and the manual is kept current."

Contrary to the above, outdated procedures were found in KG&E Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) Procedure Manuals located in the Technical Support' Center (TSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) during an inspection performed on April 10 and 11, 1985. Examples of these discrepancies include the following:

TSC

1. Temporary Change Notice (TCN) MI 85-162 was not filed with Procedure CHM 01-004.
2. TCNs MA 85-594 and MA 85-611 were not filed with Procedure SYS 8B-201.

EOF

1. TCNs MA 85-087, MA 85-217, and MA 85-439 were not filed with Procedure E-0,
2. TCNs MA 85-486 and MA-669 were not filed with Procedure SYS EF-200.

2. Failure to Respond to Control Room Annunciator 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures or drawings."

Plant Alarm Procedure ALR 00-0079F has been established in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V. ALR 00-0079F, Rev. O, states that when Annunciator F-79 alarms, the operator should check Panel SQ-64 and:

1. Verify a high or low alarm spike.
2. Ensure loose parts recorder is running.
3. Identify the location of the alarm.
4. The shift supervisor shall make the decision to by pass the alarm or take steps to mitigate potential RCS damage.
5. Notify reactor engineering for an engineering evaluation.

Contrary to the above, on April 28, 1985, Annunciator F-79 was allowed to be energized for an unknown length of time with a valid signal, without the control room operators recognizing the alarm was energized, determining if the alarm was valid, or determining if there was a need to take steps to mitigate potential reactor coolant system damage. The operators failed to follow Alarm Procedure ALR 00-0079F.

This is a Severity Level V Violation. (Supplement I.E)

(482/8519-02)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, KG&E is hereby required to submit to this office, within 30 days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
