ATTACHMENT I
Violation:
As a result of the inspection conducted on September 23-October 2,1987, and
in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the
following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XII states:
"Measures shall be
established to assure that ... measuring and testing devices ... are
centrolled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified periods ...."
The licensee has committed to ANSI N18.7-1976, paragraph 5.2.16, that
requires that "When calibration, testing, or other measuring devices are
found out of calibration, an evaluation shall be made and documented
concerning the validity of previous tests and the acceptability of
devices previously tested from the time of the previous calibration."
OCNGS Procedure 112, Attachment 6, "Controlled Test Equipment
Discrepancy Investigation Card", requires users of the discrepant test
equipment to review the usage history and report the results of their
evaluation.
Contrary to the above, as of October 2, 1987, the validity of previous
calibration tests of installed plant equipment and the acceptability of
that equipment were not being evaluated in that for Controlled Test
Equipment Discrepancy Investigation Cards issued between fiay 8,1986 and
April 12, 1987 for out of calibration test equipment, 18 instances were
identified in which neither the validity nor the acceptability of
calibration tests performed by that test equipment were being evaluated.
This is a severity level V violation (Supplement I).
GPUN Response:
I
GPUN concurs with the violation after clarification that the 18
identified discrepancy evaluations were being processed, although not in
a timely manner.
GPUN had previously identified problems with
discrepancy report format, adequacy of corrective action documentation,
and timeliness of response.
The following corrective actions have been
completed:
(1)
Evaluations of the 18 identified liaintenance and Test Equipment
(H&TE) discrepancies have been completed and documented.
The
evaluations included a thorough review of prior usage of the M&TE
and comparison of the out-of-tolerance condition with the accuracy
required for previous inspections performed with the M&TE. All
previous inspections were determined to be valid. No re-work or
additional testing has been required in any case.

(2) The administrative procedure controlling this activity;has been
revised to require increased management oversight, more complete
documentation of corrective action,.and'a more thorough review of
the corrective action process.
t
E
(3) Additionally, a computer program has been implemented to track
f
discrepancy reports and "flag" untimely responses.
Full compliance was achieved with the completion of items 1 and 2 above on
'
October 28, 1987.
