ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE-0F VIOLATION Alabata Power Company Docket No. 50-364 Farley Unit 2 License No. NPF-8 During the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) inspection conducted on December 2 - 4, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2,
1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A includes administrative procedures for procedural. adherence and maintanance procedures.
FNP-0-AP-6, Procedure Adherence, and FNP-0-AP-16, Conduct of Operations, require adherence to all plant procedures except under emergency conditions, where adherence to the procedures will create an undue hazard to personnel, equipment, or public health and safety, or under a temporary procedure change.
FNP-0-AP-57, Preservice and Inservice Inspections, and FNP-0-AP-5, Surveillance Program Administrative Control, require tests to be performed in accordance with plant procedures.
FNP-0-AP-52, Equipment Status Control and Maintenance Authorization, and FNP-0-AP-5, Surveillance Program Administrative Control, require that directions be provided for the restoration of equipment and systems to service.
Contrary to the above, on November 27, 1987:
Operations personnel marked initial condition 3.2 of surveillance test procedure (STP) FNP-2-STP-11.6, Residual Heat Removal (RHR)
Inservice Test, as not applicable (NA).
The licensee departed from the test procedure initial condition which would have required taking "A" RHR train out of service and closing the "A" RHR pump suction isolation valves.
This departure occurred under non-emergency plant conditions and was not processed as a temporary procedure change.
As a result of the NA on initial cocdition 3.2, the valve testing was not performed in accordance with the approved test procedure.
Additionally, the licensee failed to. provide instructions for the fill and vent of' that portion of the RHR "A" train piping between valves 8811A and 8812A prior to its return to service.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
