SUBJECT:
NOTICEOF' VIOLATION (NRCINSPECTIONREPORTNO. 50-482/85-35)
Thisirefers to the inspection conducted during the period September 1 through
October 4,'1985, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License No. NPF-42,-
for the Wolf Creek Generating Station, Burlington, Kansas. A number of violations
of NRC requirements were identified during this inspection. An enforcement.
conference was not deemed necessary because of the corrective measures that we
understand your staff-has taken.
Violation A involves centrifugal cnarging pump A (CCP-A) which was taken out' of
service for maintenance on August 27, 1985. The pump was declared operable
on August 30, 1985 after maintenance was completed even though the discharge
isolation valve for CCP-A was still closed. This resulted in a technical
specification action statement being exceeded by 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br />.
You discovered the
violation on August-31, 1985 and reported it to the NRC Senior Resident
Inspector on the next working day-(September 3,1985).
Violation B involves the failure of a worker to observe protective clothing
requirements of a radiation work permit. Violation C involves the violation of'
a technical specification . requirement to establish a fire watch patrol or
increase containment temperature monitoring frequency whenever fire detection
instrumentation in certain zones is out of service. Violation D addresses a
failure to follow installation criteria for various conduits. Violation E
involves failure to follow housekeeping requirements.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC
- Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C (1985), Violation A described
'
in the enclosed Notice has been classified as a Severity Level III violation.
'
Normally, a civil penalty is considered for a Severity Level III violation.
However, after consultation with the Director Office of Inspection and
Enforcement. I have decided that a civil penalty will not be proposed in this
case because your staff promptly identified and reported the violation to the
NRC and unusually prompt and extersive corrective action was taken to prevent.
recurrence.
