7 Attachcent to 41 88-0280 Page 1 of 2 Violation (482/8822-01): Failure to Verify Valve Lineup Findimt ibchnical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires, that, "Written s ucedures shall be established and naintaincd covering...
a.
The applicable s vculares rocamanded in Appendix A of Regulatory Guido (m) 1.33, Revision 2, Febcuary 1978." Appendix A of BG 1.33 states that, "Instructions for..
filling, venting, draining... should be prepared as a u.vgiato, for the a
follcwing systam.
O.
Auxiliary or Reactor Building Heating and Ventilation."
Checklist (CKL) GL-121, Revisicn 8, "Auxiliary Building Heating, Ventilating, and Air Ccrxiitioning (INAC) Systan Valve Lineup," has boon established and inplanented in accordance with the abovo TS.
Cbntrary to the above, during a rwiew conducted cn August 31, 1988, the NRC inspector found that Checklist (CKL) GL-121 had not becn canpletcd to indicato that three valves (GL V-770, 771, arxi 149) mre verified in their correct positico.
Reason For Violation:
Valves GL V-770 and 771 were added to the checklist tw,;cn notificaticn to
@erations personnel prior to cmpletion of a Plant Mcxilficaticn Roquest (PA9).
During field verification by Operations following notification that the NR ms part.ially vrailable for uso, it was noted that these t w salves were ntt yet installed and was agu.v riately notal on the checklist covershest as a discrepancy. On June 24, 1988, Facilities and McKiifications personnel installed the two valves and failed to infonn the Control Roca that thic pa-t of the PMR was available for uso.
Therefore the valves did not get signed off cn the checklist prmptly, because the checklist covershoot six w d t! van as a discrepancy pending emplaticn of the IER.
During a subsaguent revim of this incident it ms identified that there es a pu muntic deficiency in gvculares in not properly controlling release of aIuipmnt for operation in a partially CxIpleted PMR.
Valve GL V-149 ma installcd under a difforent IER, Operaticus perscnnel wre rotified, and the checklist was zwised, ACH 02-021, "Use of Procedures in Operations" raIuires a rwiew of revised checklists by the Shift Supervisor or Supervising Ogurator prior to filing the rwision. This allows the Shift Supervisor or Supervising Operator to evaluate the rwielen for inpact cn activities in prcgrtes.
hhen the checklist was revised for Valve GL V-149, the shift clerk filod the rwisicn without getting the Shift Supervisor (SS) or Supervising Operator (SO) rwiew. Therefore, che rwisod checklist ma filal before the Shift Supervisor or Supervising Operator had a chance to have sm oone vf.rify the proper valve Ensiticn.
Subsaguent rwiew of this incident revealai that the shift clerk was not familiar with this rcquirumnt and had not recelsui specific trainLN in this area, t
Attachment to W4 88-0280 Page 2 of 2 Correctivo Steps Which }{ ave Dom Taken and Imsulta Achieved:
Valvos GL V-770, 771 and 149 co chocklist CKL GL-121 were checked and verified in the correct position by Operations personnel.
Personnel responsiblo have been counseled and the sMural requiramnts of AIE 02-021 have been thoroughly discussed with the shift clerks.
Caucctivo Steps Nhich Will Be Taken 'Ib Avoid Further Violations:
AI24 01-042, Plant Modification Request Implmentation is being strergthened by requiring Control Romt drawings to be red lined and necessary procedures revisod prior to releasing the systs or portion of the systs to Operaticns following PMR partial or cmpleto inplermntation.
In the future, new shift clerks will be verified to be cognizant of the procedural requirunents of AEH 02-021 to assure they are fully cognizant of the documents that nust be reviewed by the Shift Supervisor or Supervising Operator.
Date When Full Ccnolianco Will Ib Achieved:
'Iho changes to AIE 01-042 to strmgthen it will be ocupleted by Novmber 15, 1988.
