NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Company Docket Nos. 50-424 and 50-425
'Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License.Nos. NPF-68 and NPF-81 Units 1 and 2 EA 97-045 During NRC, inspections conducted December 22r 1996 through February 1. 1997.
violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In.accordance with the
" General Statement-of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions."
NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.7.1.a requires that written procedures be established and implemented for the activities identified in Appendix A i
of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33. Revision 2. February 1978.
RG 1.33. Revision 2. requires that procedures defining authorities;and responsibilities for equipment control (e.g., locking and tagging) be i
established.
Procedure 11888-C, Safety-Related Locked Valve Manipulation. Revision 8.
i requires that a Log Sheet be prepared for valve manipulation and l
includes independent verification.
Procedure 11867-2. Safety-Related i
Locked Valve Verification Checklist. Revision 20. establishes the.
responsibilities of Operations Department personnel to ensure proper control of valve manipulations.
Procedures 11429-1. Revision 11. and 11429-2. Revision 7. 480-Volt AC 1E Electrical Distribution System Alignments, require that all breakers be in specified required positions and verified.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to implement the written procedures as evidenced by the following examples:
(1)
Operations personnel failed to perform adequate inde'endent i
verification required by Procedure ll888-C in that valve 2-2403-U4-765, the Unit 2 DG A Air Start Receiver number 1. discharge isolation valve, was not in its proper configuration.
Specifically, on December 30. 1996, during a routine tour, the inspectors observed that the valve was open with a chain and unlocked 3adlock attached.
Procedure 11867-2 requires this valve to be locced open.
(2)
Operations personnel failed to implement Procedures 11429-1 and
.11429-2 in that breakers were improperly positioned.
Specifically, on January 19. 1997, the inspectors conducted a walkdown of the 480-Volt breakers on motor control centers (MCCs) 1BBE and 2BBE and noted that fifteen breakers were not in the specified position and verified.
