A. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XII, Control of Measuring and Test Equipment requires that measures shall be established to assure that  !

gauges used in activities affecting cuality are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specifiec periods to maintain accuracy 4 within necessary limits.

Contrary to the above, on December 12, 1996, licensee measures failed to assure that the Unit 2 Residual Heat Removal (RHR) discharge pressure gauges 2-E11-PI-R003A(C) were aroperly calibrated during the performance of Periodic Test OPT-08.2.2c, _ow Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI)/RHR System Operability Test Loop A.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I). This is applicable to l Unit 2 only.

B. 10 CFR 50.65(b) establishes the scoping criteria for selection of safety related and nonsafety related structures, systems, or components to be included within the Maintenance Rule program. Scoping criteria shall include those nonsafety related structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that are relied upon to mitigate accidents or transients, or are used in the plant emergency operating procedures.

Nuclear Generation Group Standard Procedure ADM-NGGC 0101 established the program for the implementation of the Maintenance Rule which identified those structures, systems, and components included within the scope of the Maintenance Rule.

Contrary to the above, as of January 14, 1997, the licensee failed to include a number of nonsafety related systems or components within the scope of the Maintenance Rule as required. The following examples were improperly excluded from the scope,

1. Communications Emergency AC and DC Lighting - These nonsafety i related SSCs were not included in the scope of the rule despite being used in Emergency Operating Procedures or being relied upon to mitigate accidents or transients.

2. Ambient Chlorine Detectors. Turbine Ventilation, Service Water Effluent, Reactor Building Area and Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors - These nonsafety related components were not included in the scope of the rule despite being used in the Emergency Enclosure 1 9702250153 970214 PDR ADOCK 05000324 G PDR

CP&L 2 Operating Procedures or relied upon to mitigate accidents or transients.
