APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION -

Omaha Public Power District Docket: 50-285/86-02 Fort Calhoun Station License: DPR-40 During an NRC inspection conducted during the period January 1-31, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved a failure to follow procedures for inspection of uranium hexafluoride cylinders. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation is listed below:

US NRC License SMC-1420, dated September 3, 1982, authorizes OPPD to store uranium hexafluoride (UF6) at the Fort Calhoun Station, subject to the conditions contained in the licensee's application dated August 27, 1981, and supplements dated February 26, 1982, and April 1, 1982.

Special Procedure SP-UF6-1, " Uranium Hexafluoride Storage Cylinder External Visual Inspection," has been issued by the licensee to implement the requirements contained in License SMC-1420 and the associated supplenients.

Listed below are three examples of apparent failures to follow the requirements of implementing Procedure SP-UF6-1:

a. Section 6.4.1 states, in part, "The storage area shall be ' walked '

tiirough' on a semiannual schedule during the months of April and October . . . ."

, Contrary to the above, the licensee could not produce documentation to show that a ' walk through' of the UF6 storage area was performed in April 1985.

b. Section 6.4.1 states, in part, "The storage area shall be ' walked through' . . . and the following items will be checked . . . new ,

gouges, dents, or cracks in cylinder walls, heads, skirts, or stiffening rings . . . and end plug lead-wire seals are intact . . . ."

Contrary to the above, a walk through was performed in October 1985 and the inspector performing the ' walk through' did not enter the storage area; therefore, the inspector could not have completed the required inspections described above.

Section 6.3 states, in part, "All cylinders shall be inspected on a c.

biennial schedule . . . as per Section 6.1, Steps 6.1.2 through 6.1.10 . . . ." Step 6.1.9 states, " Document the inspection of each cylinder on an Inspection Data Sheet . . . ."

Contrary to the above,-the inspector did not document the results of the inspection on the inspection data sheets.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI.0) (285/8602-07).
