LP&L Response to Violation No. 8721-01

VIOLATION NO. 8721-01

Failure to Evaluate Out-of-Calibration Test Equipment in Timely Manner

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, states, in part,

"Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality,

such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective

material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and

corrected."

LP&L Procedure UNT-5-009, "Administrative Procedure Dispositioning of M&TE

Nonconformances," dated October 12, 1986, paragraph 5.5. states, "The M&TE

nonconformance evaluation Condition Identification and Work Authorization

(CIWA) must be completed by the department within 30 days from the date of

identification recorded on the originator section of the M&TE

nonconformance evaluation. The 30-day limit may be exceeded in cases where

retest or recalibration of equipment is necessary to evaluate the

nonconformance." Paragraph 5.15 states, "The Operations Quality Assurance

department shall review the completed evaluation for acceptability and

close out the M&TE nonconformance evaluation."

Contrary to the above, three out of five evaluated nonconformance CIWA's

seiteted by the NRC inspector, were found to have exceeded the 30-day

lim. cation imposed by paragraph 5.5, LP&L Procedure UNT-5-009, as

identified above, Specific CIWA documents are as follows:

CIWA Documents Originator Date Completed,

CIWA 031565 March 9, 1987 September 17, 1987

CIWA 031566 March 9, 1987 May 29, 1987

CIWA 031600 March 30, 1987 May 29, 1987

This is a Severity Level IV violation.

RESPONSE

(1) Reason For The Violation

UNT-05-009 "Dispositioning of M&TE Nonconformances" Section 5.5 states

,

"The M&TE nonconformance evaluation Condition Identification Work

l Authorization (CIWA) must be completed by the department within 30

days from the date of identification recorded on the originator

'

section of the M&TE nonconformance evaluation." For the three CIWAs

identified in the violation #8721-01, two of the three met this

l requirement. The specific dates for department evaluation completion

l are as follows:

l

l ORIG. SECTION OF DEPARTMENT

CIWA THE EVALUATION EVALUATION COMPLETED CIWA CLOSED

031565 March 4, 1987 March 9, 1987 Sept. 17, 1987

031566 March 4, 1987 May 7, 1987 May 29, 1987

031600 March 25, 1987 April 22, 1987 May 29, 1987

.

CIWA 031566 did not meet the 30 day limitation as specified in

UNT-5-009. This CIWA was sent to Nuclear Operations Engineering on

March 9, 1987. The reason for this violation was an inadequate

tracking method ueed to ensure a timely record search completion.

(2) Corrective Actions That Have Been Taken

The Station Information Management System (SIMS) is now employed in

the tracking of M&TE nonconformances. Each user department is now

responsibic for planning the Work Authorization (WA) within that

department.

A generic work authrrization has been entered into SIMS to provide

consistency in planning by the various depcrtments now responsible for

planning and conducting the evaluations.

SIMS reports are now issued on a weekly basis to all departments thr,t

have record search CI/WAs. This report provides a listing ot' near

term M&TE record c earchea and the responsible groups required to

plan / evaluate them.

The Plant Manager issued letter W3I87-0151 on December 2, 1987, to th.

tasponsible managers explaining the SIMS report, the urgency of timely

evaluation completion, and the sam,le generic work autho71:ation used

for planning. The overdue Records 3earch Evaluations listed in the

Plant Manager's letter have been completed.

(3) Corrective Actions To Be Taken

A proposed revision to UNT-5-009 gives the evaluator the ability to

request an extension in time for performance of the evaluation. The

reason for the extension will oe documented on the WA along with the

Maintenance Superintendent's approval s'.gnature. The revision to

UNT-5-009 is scheduled for approval by January 31, 1988.

~

(4) Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved

Waterford 3 is in full compliance at this time.
