APPENDIX NOTICE OF VIOLATION Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Docket: 50-402 Wolf Creek Generating Station License No: NPF-42 During an NRC inspection conducted on June 6-17, 1988, violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved: (1) five examples of not taking appropriate actions to prevent recurrence of plant system and component deficiencies; (?.) not having procedures and instructions appropriate for the bearing removal activities on a component cooling water pump; (3) not obtaining all applicable service information letters (SILs) from the emergency diesel generator (EDG) vendor and evaluating their relevance to the Wolf Creek EDGs; (4) not verifying the installation of four seismic and vibration control pipe supports on the emergency diesel generetor's cooling water system; and (5) not

, posting a fire watch, as required when a fire barrier seal in a penetration was determined not to be qualified.

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:

A. Failure to Take Adequate Corrective Actions Appendix B, 10 CFR 50 Criterion XVI, requires that conditions adverse to quality, such as equipment failure and malfunctions, are promptly identified and corrected. It also states that the causes of significant conditions adverse to quality be determined and corrective action taken to preclude their repetition. The licensee's Updated Safety Analysis Report, Revision 0, paragraph 17.2.16.1, states in part that corrective action measures have been established to ensure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified, reported, and corrected to preclude recurrence. Significant conditions adverse to quality may include te recurring condition for which past corrective action has been ineffective.

Contrary to these requirerents:

1. The licensee had not taken th) corrective actions specified in engineering evaluation request EE 85-GK-08 (completed November 27, 1985) to resolve the electrical breaker malfunctions of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in the control building.

2. The licensee had not fully investigated the underlying causes of the '

multiple HVAC darper failures in the control building.

3. The licensee had not promptly taken action to resolve a large number of actuations in the control room ventilation isolation signal (CRVIS) system that were attributed to the control room habitability system chlorine monitor malfunctions that began in 1985.

4. The licensee had not taken actions to correct multiple fire protection system failures that resulted from the apparent misapplication of valve microswitches.

5. The licensee had not promptly pursued the cause and had not takne action to resolve malfunctions in the emergency diesel engine jacket water pressure sensing system that began in 1986.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement!)(482/88200-01)

I B. Inadequate Procedure Appendix B, of 10 CFR 50, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances.

Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Contrary to the above, NRC inspectors observed during a component cooling water pump mainten, .e activity that the licensee's procedures and instructions provided to the maintenance personnel did not include appropriate cautions or details for removal of the bearing.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement 1)(482/88200-03)

C. Failure to Establish Procedures Appendix B, 10 CFR 50. Criterien V, requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Wolf Creek licensing condition 2.C.(13) describes the licensee's vendor interface program as part of their response to NRC Generic Letter 83-28.

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Procedure, KGP-1;11. Revision 1, specifies the function of the Industry Technical Information Program (IT!P). Part of the ITIP requires that vendor reports be reviewed to determine their applicability to Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) and, if necessary, a detailed evaluation is to be perfonned to detennine the effects on WCGS.

Contrary to the above, the licensee had not obtained three of the SILs that were potentially applicable to the EDGs supplied to Wolf Creek. It was further determined that the five EDG SILS that the licensee had received had not been formally reviewed or evaluated.

This is a Severity Level V violation. (Supplement I)(482/88200-04)

. 4 *.

3 D. Failure to Provide Inspection Criterion X of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 requires that a program for inspection of activities affecting quality be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify confonnance with the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activity.

Contrary to the above. NRC inspectors found that during construction of the EDGs. the licensee had not verified that the safety-related seismic and vibration control emergency diesel Turbocharger cooling water pipe supports had been installed as required by the vendor's design drawing.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (SupplementI)(482/88200-05)

E. Failure to Follow Procedures Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the fire protection program.

Procedure ADM 13-103. Revision 5. "Fire Protection: Impainnent Control."

implements procedures for impaired fire protection equipment.

Wolf Creek Updated Safety Analysis Report. Section 9.5. Table 9.5.1-3 (sheet 4), requires that all fire barriers and their penetrations separating safety-related areas from those that are not safety-related or separating portions of redundant systems important to safe shutdown shall be operable at all times. Should one or more be found to be inoperable, within one hour a continuous fire watch must be established on one side of the affected barrier or an hourly fire watch patrol must be established.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to establish the required fire watch for penetration OP 142S1099 after an engineering disposition, did not establish that the penetration would meet fire protection requirements.

The engineering disposition was completed on May 3. 1988; the licensee posted the fire watch on June 14. 1988.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement!)(482/88200-06)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201. Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation 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 violations if admitted.(2)thecorrectivestepswhichhavebeentakenandtheresults achieved. (3) th6 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, cot. sideration will be given to extending the response time.
