W APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Docket:
50-458/87-03 River Bend Station License:
NPF-47 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 9-13, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved the failure to ensure the capability to obtain and analyze postaccident samples.
In accordance with the
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:
Failure to Ensure the Capability to Obtain and Analyze Postaccident Samples Technical Specification 6.8.4 states, in part, "The following programs shall be established, implemented, and maintained:... (c) Postaccident Sampling - A program which will ensure the capability to obtain and analyze reactor coolant,... and containment atmosphere samples, under accident conditions.
The program shall include... (2) Procedures for sampling and analysis, and (3) Provisions for maintenance of sampling and analysis equipment." This requirement is further defined in Chemistry Section Procedure CSP-0150, " Chemistry Surveillance of the Postaccident Sampling Systems," which requires monthly surveillance tests of the postaccident sampling system (PASS) to ensure the capability to obtain and analyze postaccident samples of reactor water and containment atmosphere.
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspectors determined on February 12, 1987, that none of the monthly surveillance tests during 1986 had been completed successfully to demonstrate the capability of the PASS to obtain and analyze reactor water and containment atmosphere postaccident samples.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I)(458/8703-01).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Gulf States Utilities is hereby required to submit to this office, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation if admitted, (2) corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
