NOTICE OF VIOLATION

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

j procedure and performance of a 50.59 review, no response to this item of

i noncompliance is required.
