Contrary to the above, listed below are examples of where written procedures were not properly implemented:
1.
System Operating Procedure SOP-0018," Normal Service Water," Revision i7. Attachment 2 required, in part, that Valve 1SWP-V912 be throttled open two turns and lock sealed in place. On September 30,1996, Procedure SOP-0018 was not properly implemented in that Valve 1SWP-V912 was not lock sealed.
2.
Procedure SOP-0066," Plant and Control Building Chilled Water," Revision 18, Attachment 4A required, in part, that Switch S1-HVKB03 be in the
" NORMAL" position. On August 6,1996, Procedure SOP-0066 was not properly implemented in that Switch S1-HVKB03 was in the " TEST" position.
3.
Procedure SOP-0066," Plant and Control Building Chilled Water," Revision 18, Section 4.2.2.11 required, in part that the pushbutton switch for control room emergency Chiller 1HVK-CH1 A be in the " RESET" position. On August 6,1996, Procedure SOP-0066 was not properly implemented in that the pushbutton switch for control room emergency Chiller 1HVK-CH1 A was in the "STOP" position.
4.
Procedure SOP-0104," Floor and Equipment Drains," Revision 15, E requires the control switch for Pump DFR-P3M to be in the
