APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Houston Lightin & Power Company Docket:
50-499 South Texas Pro ect, Unit 2 Construction Permit:
CPPR-129 4
During an NRC inspection conducted er: April 5 through May 2,1988, three violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved the failure to maintain up-to-date tagging of equipnent and to identify the current status of tagged components, the failure to provide covers for the sharp edges on some cable trays to preclude damage to electrical cables, and the failure to maintain an acceptable level of housekeeping in certain areas.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), these violations are listed below:
A.
Tagging - Status of Equipment 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIV, Inspection, Test, and Operating Status, states, in part "Measures shall be established to indicate, by the use of markings such as... tags... the status of inspections and tests..." This requirement is amplified by the approved Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) of the STP.
Standard Site Procedure (SSP) 13. "Material Control," Revision 3, dated March 30, 1988; SSP 33, "Construction Safety Tagging," Revision 1, dated December 9, 1987; and SSP 8, "Nonconformance Reports," Revision 4, dated April 5,1988, requires tagging of equipment at differant stages of construction to assure that plant system and component status are identified and maintained.
Contrary to the above, on April 20 and 21,1988, the NRC inspector observed five different types of status tags in the "B" Isolation Valve Cubicles (IVC) in Unit 2 that were invalid or did not correctly identify the status of the tagged components in the main steam and feedwater systems.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
(SupplementII)(50-499/8824-01)
B.
Cable Protection - Softeners
'O CFR Part 50, Appendix D, Criterion X, snspection, states, in part,
"... that activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization perfonning the activity to varify conformance with documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishint the activity." This requirement is amplified by the approved QAPD of tie STP. SSP 26, Revision 2, requires that "cable and conductors shall be protected from sharp edges, and free from damage."
Contrary to the above, during the week of April 18-22, 1988, the NRC inspector identified more than 25 areas on various cable trays in the "B" 8806140031 880607 DR ADOCK 05000499 ncn

IVC'in Unit 2 where the licensee had failed to install cable softeners.
softeners were required to cover the sharp edges'on cable trays to je damage to the electrical cable jacket. material where electrical
,cables had been routed from one cable tray to another cable tray.
4 This is a Severity Level IV violation.
(SupplementII)(50-499/8824-02).
C.-
Housekeeping p
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, Qualit'y Assurance Program, requires that, "Controlled conditions include the use of appropriate equipment; suitable environmental conditions for accomplishing the activity, such as adequate cleanness...." The licensee is committed to' Regulatory Guide 1.39, and ANSI 45.2.3.
These accuments require that activities be performed under suitable conditions of cleanliness.
Construction Site Procedure (CSP) 12 "General Instruction for Housekeeping During Ccnstruction," Revision 6, dated November 19, 1987, paragraph 8.05.03.01 states, "The work area shall-be'kept sufficiently clean and orderly that construction activity can proceed in an efficient manner that will produce and maintain quality in conformance with specified requirements."
Contrary to the above, during an inspection of Unit 2 Isolation Valve Cubicles _(IVC) on April 20 and 21, 1988, the "B" IVC was found to be below the minimum acceptable level for cleanliness and general housekeeping activities.
Specifically, excessive amounts of construction debris, abandoned tools, and supplies were scattered throughout the "B" IVC.
Excessive quantities of-dirt and dust we e observed in the cable trays, udder the grates, and on the beams and f!anges throughout the general trea.
This is a Severity Level IV violation / (Supplement II)(50-499/8824-03)
