  • ATTACHMENT to W3P86-0032 Sheet 1 of 2 LP&L RESPONSE TO VIOLATION 8533-02 VIOLATION NO. 8533-02 Failure to follow approved procedures Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be established and implemented covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2.

Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, requires written procedures be established for control of measuring and test equipment (M&TE). Administrative Procedure MD-1-015, Revision 0, was established to control M&TE. Paragraph 5.10 of MD-1-015 requires, in part, that all M&TE be delivered to the metrology lab on or before its expiration date.

Contrary to the above, established procedures were not followed in that M&TE MIPT-027.054, with a calibration due date of November 20, 1985, was in use on December 11, 1985.

This is a Severity Level V violation.

RESPONSE TO VIOLATION (1) Reason for the Violation A mechanism did not exist for the recalibration of potentially contaminated Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE). M&TE used inside the Radiation Controlled Area (RCA) remained in the RCA.

In this case, MI-PT-027.054 was in temporary storage _in the I&C Hot Shop in the RCA. The technician working on CIWA 022913 decided, in error, that the out-of-calibration M&TE could be used in his troubleshooting efforts because no calibration data would be gathered.

(2) Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved A review of CIWA 022913 verified that no calibration data was taken with the out-of-calibration MI-PT-027.054. The calibration of instrument BM-ILT-6388B was accomplished by employing MI-PT-091.023.

A meeting was called on January 17, 1986, by the Maintenance Superintendent to resolve the problem of M&TE accumulating in the RCA. Changes were made in the method for the controlling and handling of M&TE within the RCA and maintenance policies were established to alleviate recurrence of the problems including the policy that M&TE will not be stored in the 16C Hot Shop. A followup meeting (training session) was held on February 7,1986 for I&C Department personnel to review and discuss the  ;

departmental policies for the control of M&TE. The requirements to use only calibrated M&TE in the I&C Hot Shop were' stressed.

The details on decontamination and conditional release of.

potentially contaminated M&TE to the Metrology Lab are to be resolved by the Maintenance' Superintendent and the Radiation Protection Superintendent.
