SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-498/88-11
AND50-498/88-24)
This refers to the inspection conducted February 11 through March 31 and
April 5 through May 2, 1988, at the South Texas Project, Unit 1 (STP-1) near
Bay City, Texas.
During these inspections, it was found that certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements. On May 26, 1988, an enforcement
conference was held in the Region IV office in Arlington, Texas, to discuss
violations identified during recent NRC inspections (reference NRC Inspection
Report Nos. 50-498/88-11 and 50-498/88-24). Two of the apparent violations
(Violations 498/8824-03 and 498/8811-01) are under review and will be addressed
in a separate letter.
One apparent violation (498/8811-04) involving not
having a specific procedure to control lifted leads has been withdrawn based on
information you provided during the enforcement conference.
The remaining four
apparent violations are contained in the attached Notice of Violation.
Violation A in the enclosed Notice of Violation involves deficiencies identified
by the NRC during a test results verification inspection. This violation is
potentially significant because these packages had been through several reviews
in your system and the errors had not been discovered. However, these
deficiencies were not significant because the errors were isolated and had no
impact on the successful completion of the test.
Violation B represents a potentially significant weakness in adherence to your
Technical Specification (TS) requirements.
During power operation it is
important that operations staff personnel be aware of all system operability
requirements prior to exiting TS Action Statement.
Violation C represents a potentially significant weakness because of the failure
to properly control system boundaries in accordance with procedural requirements.
