SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-302/97-01)
Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for your response of April 23. 1997, to our Notice of Violation
(NOV) issued on March 24. 1997 concerning activities c0nducted at your
Crystal River facility. We have evaluated your response and found that it
meets the requirements of 10 CFR 2.201 with the following exception.
Although your response to Violation 50-302/97-01-01 addressed corrective
actions for the specifically cited violation. it failed to address fully your
actions in response to overall root causes for the problems.
Consequently,
your response was narrowly focused and did not document your comprehensive
'
corrective actions that are being taken to prevent recurrence of the cited
,
I
problem as well as other similar problems you found.
Your response also
omitted details regarding the scope of Jersonnel that were involved in a
tagging order standdown and subsequent 3riefing as well as required reading to
improve understanding of the significance of the tagging process.
Your
response regarding corrective actions and remits achieved did not fully
,
l
delineate the results achieved.
Specifically, your response states a walkdown
!
of outstanding tagging orders and a review of tags on local control stations
!
was conducted but it did not discuss the problems similar to the violation
example yoi, discovered during these efforts and subsequent disposition of
these problems.
Your response narrowly focused on the specific cited example
of a tagging problem and not the bread spectrum of problems you discovered
which resulted in you undertaking a complete rewrite of your clearance and
tagging 3rocedure. Compliance Procedure CP-115. Nuclear Plant Tags and Tagging
Orders,
Revision 73.
Your response also stated that CP-115 required air
operated valves used for isolation to be gagged closed, but the violation
example was a failure to follow existing CP-115 procedural guidance. This did
L
not address the details discussed in the Inspection Report of the deficiency
!
in CP-115 that did not require gagging of air-operated valves unless they were
I
specifically designated as system " boundary" valves.
CP-115 also did not
l
require tags on the components manipulated to gag an air valve or isolate and
vent the motive air supply. The inspectors had concluded these deficiencies
'
constituted an inadequate procedure which directly contributed to the
'
-
l
violation example.
'
.
,
'
l
Your response to Violation 50-302/97-01-l:4 identified that operators were not
O
1
' aware that a computer program had been developed for operations to identify
out o' calibration or inoperable instruments, for surveillance testing.

proposed corrective actions for this was to train the operators in the use of
l
this program and issue a Night Order to instruct the operators to use the
'
program prior to performance of surveillance procedures.
Training
.

effectiveness diminishes with time, and Night Orders are temporary
' instructions with a limited duration. We request that you inform us of the
!
'
permanent requirements being created to assure surveillance testing is
performed with operable instruments.
Additionally, one of the causes addressed in your response to Violation 50-
,
302/97-01-04 stated that the spent fuel level instruments were calibrated by a
'
work request governed by Administrative Instruction AI-605 Preventive
.'
Maintenance Program, instead of a curveillance procedure.
You stated that AI-
'
605 did not contain adequate guidance for required actions when instruments
i
exceed their calibration interval.
Your corrective actions included
relocating instruments used for technical specification required surveillances
into scheduled calibration surveillance procedures. This addresses a small
percentage of the overdue Preventive Maintenance tasks identified in the
inspection report. The programmatic problems discussed in the Inspection
. Report. which resulted in large numbers of overdue calibrations, were not
addressed by your response. We also request that this issue, which was a
major contributor to the identified violation, be addressed in your
supplemental response.
We request that you provide a supplemental response to Violation Nos. 50-
302/97-01-01 and 50-302/97-01-04 within 30 days of the date of this letter.
We will examine the implementation of the remainder of your corrective actions
during future inspections.
"
- We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely.
