A. 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XII as implemented by Quality Assurance Program (Duke 1-A, Amendment 11) Section 17.2.12 requires in part that measures be established to assure that instruments and other measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated and adjusted at specified ' periods to maintain-accuracy within necessary limits. ,

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to establish measures to assure that stopwatches used in activities affecting quality were properly controlled, calibrated and adjusted in that an uncontrolled personal wristwatch was used on May 18, 1988, to verify the motor operated . damper (1 ARF-02) in the containment air return fan discharge line opened with a 10 +/-1 second delay after a test signal. A program for calibrating stopwatches has not been established.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I). l l

B. Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Station Directive 3.2.2, Development and Conduct of the Periodic Testing Program, section 8.0 requires that after a valve has undergone maintenance and prior to its return to service, it shall be tested as necessary to demonstrate that the parameters affected by the maintenance are within l l

acceptable limits.

Contrary to the above, maintenance was performed on valve 2BB-61B on March 15, 1988, and the valve was returned to service without being tested to demonstrate that the parameters affected were within acceptable limits.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation applicable to Unit 2 only.

(SupplementI).
