- t DUKE POWER COMPANY McGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION RESPONSE TO VIOLATION IN INSPECTION REPORT 50-369/85-40 and 50-370/85-41 Violation 50-370/85-41-02, Severity Level IV Technical Specification 4.6.5.8 requires that each refueling canal drain be demonstrated operable at least once per 92 days by verifying, through a visual inspection, that there is no debris present that could obstruct the drains.
Technical Specification 4.4.4.2 requires that each PORV block valve be demonstrated operable at least once per 92 days by operating the valve through one complete cycle of full travel unless the block valve is closed with power removed.
Contrary to the above, it was determined on November 22, 1985, that the surveillance to verify the operability of the refueling canal drains and PORV block valves were not performed within their applicable surveillance intervals in that the late date for the performance of both surveillances had expired.
1.
Admission or denial of the alleged violation:
Duke Power agrees that the violation occurred as stated in LER 370/85-25.
2.
Reasons for violation:
The violation occurred due to personnel error. The engineer in charge of scheduling improperly scheculed the surveillance procedure three months from the end of the quarter rather than three months from the last procedure completion date.
Further details may be found in LER 370/85-25.
3.
Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved:
The responsible engineer has been instructed on various methods to insure periodic tests (pts) are scheduled and performed on time.
Changes have been made that the person in charge of scheduling pts use all available information to schedule pts in a timely manner.
No additional surveillances have been missed.
4.
Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:
An Operations Management Procedure (OMP) is being developed which gives details on how to schedule periodic tests.
5.
Date when full compliance will be achieved:
The OMP will be in place by March 1, 1986.
