REPLY TO A NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Omaha Public Power District

License:
IFR-80
.
During an NRC inspection conducted on September 14, through October 25,1997, a violation
,
of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy
,
and Procedure for NP.C Enforcement Actions" NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:
Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50, Criterion V, states, in part, that activities affecting
quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of
.
a type appropriate to the circumstance and shall be accomplished in accordance with
these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Standing Order SO-M 2, " Preventative Maintenance Program," Revision 24, Step
10.1, states, in part, those preventive maintenance work plans not completed by their
duc date sh-ll have Form FC-1066 initiated to obtain approval for deferral.
Preventive Maintenance Order 9603504, which involved cleaning and eddy current
testing of a-spent fuel pool heat exchanger, was scheduled to be completed on
November 2,1996.
Contrary to the above, Preventive Maintenance Order 9603504 was not completed by
the due date, and the licensee did not initiate the required documention to authorize
deferral of th., preventive maintenance.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I) (285/97018-02)
1.
The Reason for the Violation
A Preventive Maintenance Order was tasked to perform an eddy current test on the Spent
Fuel Pool Heat Exchanger during the 1996 Refueling Outage. This task was removed from
the outage scope using the Outage Scope Change / Addition Request process in accordance
with the requirements of Standing Order M-104. However, no Preven;ive Maintenance
Program Task Deferral / Administrative Closcout form was completed.
The cause of this event was failure to follow the appropriate procedural process for deferral
of preventive maintenance tasks in that the required deferral form, FC-1066, was not
completed in accordance with the requirements of Standing Order M-2.. A contributing
cause was that the Outage Scope Change / Addition Request (OSCAR) process in Standing

Order M 104, Outage Planning and Execution, did not contain a procedural reference to
Standing Order M 2, Preventive Maintenance Program, for completion of the Preventive
Maintenanec Order (PMO) Deferral form, FC-1066.
2.
Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved
A Preventive Maintenance Program Task Deferral / Administrative Closeout form has been
completed and approved for PMO 9603504'.
A review of outage PMOs was r:rformed to determine if other taska were removed from the
outage scope without thC pmper deferral. This review revealed an additional 45 PMOs that
required attention.
3.
Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Further Violmm
The 45 outage PMOs will be evaluated and deferred in accordance with the requirements
of Standing Order 50-M-2. This action will be completed by December 31,1997.
Standing Order SO-M-2 and Standing Order M-104 will be revised to clarify the interface
between Outage Scope Change / Addition Request fonn and the requirements for PMO
deferral. These revisions will be completed by January 31,1998.
4.
Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved
OPPD is currently in full compliance for PMO 9603504 and will be in full compliance for
the other 45 outage PMOs by December 31,1997.
