During an NRC inspection conducted from March 14-18, 1988, two violations of
NRC requirements were identified.
resolve deficiencies identified during a surveillance test and failure
licensee to verify the correct qualifications for an examiner completing a
reactor coolant system leak test.
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions " 10 CFR Part 2
(1987), the violations are listed below:
A.
Failure To Promptly Resolve Test Deficiencies

Order G-26, R17. "Maintenance Quality Control Program," requires a minimum
level II capability for personnel who evaluate and report test results.
Contrary to the above, Surveillance Test ST-RLT-1, F.1 (leak test) results
were evaluated and reported on May 29, 1987, by an individual qualified to
a lower capability level (Level 1).

NOTICE OF DEVIATION
~0maha Public Power District
Docket:
50-285
Fort Calhoun Station
Operating License: DPR-40
Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted from March 14-18, 1988, a
deviation from your comitment was identified.
The deviation consisted of
failure to continue implementation of corrective actions comitted to in the
response to an NRC violation.
In accordance with the "General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C
(1987), the deviation is listed below:
Failure to Continue Implementation of Corrective Actions
Violation 285/8511-01, dated June 26, 1985, involved failure to account
for six surveillance tests (STs), performed during the refueling outage
ending in July 1984, in the files.
The licensee's response to this
violation stated, in part, "Each month the surveillance test clerk will
issue a list of STs that are due but not filed and those due but not
completed.
Each supervisor will be required to respond to this list by
indicating the status of each test.
This status list will then be
compiled and presented to the Plant Review Committee (PRC) by the
Supervisor-Technical indicating those tests not completed /not filed and
the action taken to assure completion / filing by the end of the next
monthly review period."
Contrary to the above, in deviation to that written comitment, a status
list indicating the action taken to assure completion / filing by the end
of the next monthly review period did not exist for a delinquent ST list
dated March 2, 1988, which showed 11 STs dating from August 22, 1986,
through the end of the 1987 spring refueling outage, as being delinquent
t
for filing.
(285/8810-03)
Omaha Public Power District is hereby requested to submit a written statement
or explanation to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter
transmitting this Notice. This reply, should include for each deviation:
(1) the reason for the deviation if admitted, (2) the corrective steps that
have been taken and the results achieved. (3) the corrective steps that will be
taken to avoid further deviations, and (4) the date when full compliance will
,
be achieved.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to
extending the response time.

of test results records for each procedure.
The TS surveillance
requirements or IST component together with the associated test procedures
reviewed by the NRC inspector are tabulated in the Attachment.
The NRC inspector determined that the required tests were being scheduled
and performed as required in accordance with approved procedures.
Acceptance criteria were specified in the procedures and, with the
exceptions discussed below, the records stated satisfaction of acceptance
criteria.
Appropriate instructions for returning equipment to service
following testing were given.
Some problems involving failure to complete
timely reviews of completed test records are discussed in Section 2.a.
above and an example is given below.
The NRC inspector discovered that completed Procedure ST-NZ-1,
Section F.1, for flow testing containment spray nozzles noted anomalies
and deficiencies which had not been formally reviewed and dispositioned.
Specifically, it was noted that ten nozzles were not tested because of
inaccessibility and that one nozzle was not working properly. The test had
been completed on May 8, 1987, and was listed as delinquent for filing in
the list updated on March 2, 1988.
The failure to evaluate the anomolies
or deficiencies with these nozzles is an apparent violation of 10 CFR
i
Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, and the approved quality assurance
I
program.
(285/8810-01)
The NRC inspector discussed the deficiencies noted in the test record for
ST-NZ-1 with plant management on March 15, 1988.
The NRC inspector
1
expressed concern that the plant was restarted with the operability of the
containment spray system undetermined. A second conc. n expressed was
that the licensee's administrative procedures for followup on test
deficiencies were apparently not followed.
The Supervisor-Maintenance
initiated an Incident Report on March 16, 1988, to address the test
i
problems noted.
It contained the results of a preliminary safety analysis
which indicated that over 100 spray nozzles must be plugged before the
i
design flow rate of 5100 gpm would be decreased.
The NRC inspector had no
further safety concerns on this test.
During the inspection, the NRC inspector requested records verifying the
appropriate qualification level of examiners who completed reactor coolant
system leak testing on May 29, 1987, and on June 1, 1987, in accordance
with Procedure ST-RLT-1, Section F.1.
Because these records were not made
available prior to the exit, it was discussed as an unresolved item.
Copies of qualification records were subsequently forwarded by the
licensee to the NRC Region IV office on March 22, 1988.
The qualification
record for the examiner completing the test on May 29, 1987, indicated he
had only an ANSI N45.2.6, level I qualification for hydrostatic testing.
Paragr6ph F.1.b.(2)(a) of ST-RLT-1 states that examiners must be qualified
in accordance with ASME Section XI, Article IWA-2000.
Paragraph IWA-2212
of Article IWA-2000 requires the use of VT-2 visual examination for leak
testing.
Subarticle IWA-2300 requires qualification of personnel
