THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE VIOLATION WAS PERSONNEL ERROR IN NOT COMPLYING WITH THE PROCEDURE.
On December 4, 1987, the
'B' Filtration, Recirculation and Filtration System (FRVS) recirculation fan flow transmitter was found isolated while difficulties were being experienced with starting and running the recirculation fan.
This event was caused by a lack of strict procedural compliance on the part of the I&C technicians responsible for the performance of the calibration and return to service of the subject instrument.
While this violation of a station procedure was licensee identified, it was cited as a violation due to recurring problems in the area of procedural compliance.
