During an NRC inspection conducted November 17 through December 5,1997, a violation of
NRC requirements was identified. In accoroance with the " General Staternent of Policy and
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part, measures sitall be
established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as nonconformances, are
promptly identified and corrected.
Procedure W2.501, " Corrective Action," Step 4.9, stated, in part, that a nonconforming
condition is an adverse condition affecting a safety-related system caused by a
deficiency in a caracteristic that renders the quality of the item indeterminate.
Step 4.9.2 stated that discovery of a condition of a system or component required to be
operable by Technical Specifications, which calls into question the current or past
operability, is an example of a nonconforming condition. Step 6.1.1 stated, in part, that
an individual who identifies an adverse condition shall complete Sections 1,2, and 3 of
Attachment I (the co.idition report form) in accordance with the instructions given in the
attachment.
Contrary to the above, on Fabruary 24,1997, an individual, who identified an adverse
condition affecting a safety-related system, failed to promptly identify a nonconformance
that called into question the operability of a system required to be operable by Technical
Specifications. Specifically, the individual identified an adverse condition related to the
refueling water storage pool level instrumentation and did not promptly complete a
condition report form.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (50-382/9727-01) (Supplement 1).
