The violations involved a failure to comply with surveillance procedure instructions, a failure to maintain the control room HVAC in the required state of operability, a failure to maintain required fire proofing material intact, and a failure to maintain procedures located in the plant up-to-date. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below:

l Section 2.2 of Surveillance STS SF-001, requires that no change in reactor coolant boron concentration shall be made during the test.

Contrary to the above, on February 3,1986, operations personnel performed Surveillance STS SF-001 while reactor coolant boren concentration was being changed by dilution.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I.D) (50-482/8604-01).

Contrary to the above, on February 20, 1986, when a control room ventilation isolation actuation was manually initiated, the control room air conditioning unit (SGK04B) did not start and two associated dampers did not reposition as required due to Switch GK llS-40/PNL GK199A being in the off position rather than the required normal position.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I.D) (50-482/8604-02).
