NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Omaha Publi: Power District Docket No.: 50-285

Fort Calhoun Station Licent.e No.: DPR 40

During an NRC inspection conducted on October 26 through December 6,1997, three

violations of NRC requirements were identified, in accordance with the " General Statement

of hiicy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violations are

listed below:

A. Appendix B to 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 circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with

these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

f Standing Order SO 01, " Conduct Of Operations," Revision 36, Step 6.1.3,

Section C and G, requires, in pert, that all necessary plant related

technical / administrative control room business must be conducted at a location and

in such a manner that neither licensed control room ooerator attentiveness nor the

professional atmosphere will be compromised, it further requires that nonoperations

personnel shall enter the control room only to discuss official business with the

control room crew.

Contrary to the above, on November 21,1997, the control coom crew failed to

maintain a professional atmosphere in the control room in that breakf ast was being

cooked in the main control room area and nonoperations personnel were eating in

the control room.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1)(50-285/9719-01).

s

B. Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50, Criterion V, states, in part, that activities affecting

quality shall be prescribed by documented instruction, procedures, or drawings of a

type appropriate to the circumstances.

Revision 11 of Operating Instruction OI-CO 5, " Containment Integrity," states, in

part, that the purpose of this operating instruction is to establish containment

integrity.

Contrary to the above, on November 19,1997, the inspectors identified that the

containment integrity operatirg instruction was inadequate because not all

containment penetrations needed to establish containment integrity were included in

the operating instruction.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1)(50-285/9719-02).

administrative policies shall be established, implemented, and maintained that meet

or exceed the minimum requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 1c, states, in part, that procedures

shall be written for equipment control (e.g., locking or tagging).

Standing Order SO-O 44, " Administrative Controls for the Locking of Components,"

Revision 64, Attachment 1, " Locked Components Checklist," requires that

Valve HCV 2812C, raw water !nlet to SI 2C bearing cooler, be locked. Step 7.1 of

limited physical restraint on the operation of the component.

Contrary to th , above, on December 3,1997,ine inspectors identified that the

provided the physical restraint to prevent operation of the valve.
