- 1-NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY Commonwealth Edison Company Docket No. 50-295;50-304 Zion Generating Station License No. DPR-39; DPR-48 [
EA 96-355 l t
During an NRC inspection conducted on July 22 through August 22,1996, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy l and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the NRC proposes to impose '
a civil penalty pursuant to Section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (Act),42 U.S.C. 2282, and 10 CFR 2.205. The particular violations and associated civil 3 penalty are set forth below:
- 1. Violations Assessed A Civil Penalty A. 10 CFR 50.59(a)(1) states, in part, that a licensee may make changes in the facility as described in the safety analysis report without prior Commission approval unless the change involves a change in the technical specification incorporated in the license or an unreviewed safety question. 10 CFR 50.59(b)(1) states, in part, that the licensee shall maintain records of changes in the facility and of changes in the facility made pursuant to this ;
section, to the extent that these changes constitute changes in the facility (
and in procedures as described in the safety analysis report. These records '
must include a written safety evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
1
- 1. The Zion Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) at Section 6.3 describes the safety injection system and Figure 6.3-1 indicates ,
that there is no heat tracing installed on the safety injection (SI) pumps' minimum flow recirculation piping. j l
Contrary to the above, on March 18,1996, the licensee did not l perform an adequate safety evaluation to determine whether temporary alteration 96-014, " Installation of Heat Tracing and Insulation on the SI Recirculation Line," constituted an unreviewed safety question. Specifically, the safety evaluation was deficient because it did not provide the basis for the determination that the installation of heat tracing did not change the SI system operating characteristics. (01013)
- 2. The Zion UFSAR at Table 6.2-4 states that there is no seal water system function for containment penetration P-4. I 9703180119 970312
{DR ADOCK 05000295 PDR
~ J
Notice of Violation 2 Contrary to the above, as of October 1995, the licensee did not perform an adequate safety evaluation to determine whether the safety related plant change implemented by E22-1(2) 5 218, "MOV St-8803A/B Bypass Line Addition," constituted an unreviewed safety question. Specifically, the evaluation was deficient in that it took credit for the seal water system as a containment isolation function for penetration P-4. (01023)
- 3. The Zion UFSAR at Section 6.3.2 describes the safety injection tanks and Section 5.4.11.2 describes the pressurizer relief tank, in ;
addition, the UFSAR did not describe the acceptability of leaving temporary scaffolding in the containment during power operation. j Contrary to the above, as of November 16,1995, the licensee did not perform an adequate safety evaluation to determine whether safety evaluation 50.59/0166/95, which authorized temporary scaffolding to remain in the containment (around the safety injection tanks and in contact with the pressurizer relief tank), constituted an unreviewed safety question. Specifically, the evaluation failed to consider the effect the scaffolding could have on piping and instrumentation, pipe break effects, and/or thermal growth. (01033)
B. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, " Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," states, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be appropriate to the circumstances and shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures and drawings.
- 1. Zion administrative procedure (ZAP) 510-02, " Plant Modification Program" (Rev 5(G) dated December 19,1995), at Steps G.6.d,
" Quality Control," G.6.e, " System Engineer," G.7.c, " Modification i Coordinator," and G.7.d, " System Engineer Supervisor," required verification by each respective individual or department that the plant modification was complete prior to placing the effected equipment in service.
Contrary to the above, as of August 22,1996, the licensee failed to follow procedures, for activities affecting quality, in that the following safety-related modifications were not accomplished in accordance with ZAP 510-02. Specifically the components associated with each modification listed below were " declared operable" before the required verifications by either the Quality Control department, System Engineer, Modification Coordinator, or System Engineer Supervisor were complete.

Contrary to the above, as of August 22,1996, the licensee failed to follow procedures, for activities affecting quality, in that the following TSis had not been reviewed to determine if the TSI altered the intent of the applicable TS as required by ZAP 130-02.(01093)
- a. TSI 89-03 altered the intent of TS 4.3.1.A.4.b. by allowing the use of narrow range steam generator water level to determine reactor coolant loop operability. TS 4.3.1.A.4.b. specified the use of wide range steam generator water level in determining reactor coolant loop operability.
- b. TSI 95-03 altered the intent of TS 3.13.1.A.4 by suspending residual heat removal operation for up to one hour in an eight hour period during core alterations. TS 3.13.1.A.4 requires at least one residual heat removal pump and heat exchanger be in operation during core alteration,
- c. TSI 89-02 altered the intent of TSs 3.7.2 and 4.7.2 by permitting auxiliary feedwater flowpath valve verification instead of auxiliary feedwater flowrate when verifying auxiliary feedwater pump operability,
- d. TSI 91-05 altered the intent of TSs 3.8.7.A, B, and C by increasing the time limit that the licensee can take to place the unit in hot shutdown if service water pumps become inoperable, i
. I Notice of Violation 5
- e. TSI 86-03 altered the intent of TSs 3.22.1.A,3.22.2.A, 4.22.1.A.3 and 4.22.2.A.3 by permitting a visual examination instead of an engineering evaluation for components that were attached to a snubber that had failed a functional test.
C. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, " Test Control," states, in part, that a test program shall be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform 4
satisf actorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. Test results shall be documented and evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to establish an effective testing program as evidenced by the following examples: (01103)
- 1. As of August 22,1996, the licensee's test program did not assure that all testing required to demonstrate that the following modifications would perform satisfactorily was completed prior to placing the modified systems in service.
- a. Modification E22-1-90-0168, " Replace NIS Source and Intermediate Range with Accident Monitoring Qualified Instrumentation," was placed in service in January 1994, however, the test documentation and loop calibrations for the NIS loop drawers could not be located.
