Toledo Edison Company Docket No.

50-346 l Davis-Besse NPS License No.: NPF-3

\ l l During an NRC inspection conducted on September 18 through November 9,1998, one '

l violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of l Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality l shall be prescribed by documented instructions or procedures appropriate to the circumstance and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions or procedures.

Contrary to the above, on October 21,1998, Maintenance Work Order (MWO) 2-95-0050, which contained instructions to abandon the primary water storage tank, an activity which affected quality, was not appropriate to the circumstance in that the MWO incorrectly specified the removal of fuses from Panel YAU instead of Fuse 72 in Panel C5857D. The incorrect instructions in the MWO led technicians to remove a fuse which resulted in a plant runback.

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

The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective

! actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence and the date when full compliance was achieved are already adequately addressed on the docket in inspection Report 50-346/98017.
