Appendix A
Louisiana Power & Light Company
Docket 50-382
Waterford Unit 3
Permit NPF-38
During an NRC inspection conducted on June 1 through July 31, 1985, two
violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The violations involved
failure to meet operational mode requirements and failure to conduct a proper
10 CFR 50.59 review.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the
violations are listed below.
A.
Failure to Meet Operational Mode Requirements
Technical Specification 4.0.4 requires that " Entry into an OPERATIONAL
MODE or other specified conditions shall not be made unless the
surveillance requirement (s) associated with the limiting condition for
operation have been performed within the stated surveillance interval or
as otherwise specified.
LP&L Operating Procedure OP-10-001, Revision 4, " General Plant
Operations," requires that when entering Mode 4 (hot shutdown) both
emergency diesel generators be operable.
Contrary to the above, on June 11, 1985, Waterford 3 was in Mode 5 (cold
shutdown) while performing Surveillance Procedure OP-903-069, " Integrated
Emergency Diesel Generator / Engineered Safety Features Test." As part of
the above procedure, operations personnel were attempting to prove the
operability of the Emergency Diesel Generator B automatic load sequence
timer. However, operations personnel did not review the test data until
1545 hours0.0179 days <br />0.429 hours <br />0.00255 weeks <br />5.878725e-4 months <br /> on June 20, 1985.
Waterford entered Mode 4 (hot shutdown) at
1028 hours0.0119 days <br />0.286 hours <br />0.0017 weeks <br />3.91154e-4 months <br /> on June 20, 1985, with Emergency Diesel Generator 8 inoperable
due to Load Block 7 being out of tolerance.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (50-382/8520-05).
B.
Failure-to Conduct a Proper 10 CFR 50.59 Review
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.59 requires, in part,
'that the-licensee shall perform and maintain a written safety evaluation
.which provides the basis for the determination that the changes in the
facility, as described in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR),'do not involve
an unresolved safety question.

Contrary to the above, on June 25, 1985, the NRC inspector noted that LP&L
Operating Procedure OP-03-014, " Control Room Heating and
Ventilating," provided the normal lineup of the emergency outside air
intake valves which was different than the lineup described in the Final
Safety Analysis Report (FSAR.) The NRC inspector found no evidence that a
proper 10 CFR 50.59 review was conducted to calculate dose rates which an
operator would experience if these valves had to be manually opened from
cutside the control room.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (50-382/8520-04).
Based on your immediate corrective actions to revise the operating
procedure and performance of a 50.59 review, no response to this item of
j
i
noncompliance is required.
