APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Kansas Gas and Electri Company Docket: 50-482/86-08 Wolf Creek Generating Station License: NPF-42 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 5 and April 7-8, 1986, three violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved failure to verify correct revision of a surveillance procedure prior to use, failure to maintain auxiliary building fire barrier penetrations in accordance with Technical Specifications (TS), and failure to adequately perform TS surveillance requirements. 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 Verify Correct Revision of a Surveillance Procedure Prior To Use Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) TS 6.8.1 requires that, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering

. . . a. The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978."

Section 8.b. of Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33 specifies that specific procedures for surveillance tests, inspections, and calibrations are to be provided.

Plant Administrative Procedure (ADM)02-300, Revision 6, " Surveillance Testing," has been established and implemented in accordance with these requirements.

Step 5.4.1.6 states, " Verifying prior to its use that a procedure is the current revision . . . . He will document this review on the surveillance test routing sheet (STRS) . . . ."

Contrary to the above, cn April 8,1986, operations personnel performed and the shift supervisor signed off as complete, STS RE-004, " Shutdown Margin Determination," without first verifying and documenting that the .

procedure being used was the correct revision and/or that temporary changes were current.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (SupplementI.D)(482/8608-01)

B. Failure To Maintain Auxiliary Building Buttress Penetrations In Accordance With Fire Hazards Analysis WCGS TS 3.7.11 requires, in part, that, "All fire barrier penetrations

. . . separating safety-related fire areas . . . shall be operable."  !

Contrary to the above, on April 7, 1986, it was determined that the floor penetration covers on either side of 'C' containment tendon buttress on Elevations 2047' and 2026' were not 3-hour fire barriers and were outside the design basis as specified by the fire hazards analysis.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (SupplementI.D)(482/8608-02)

C. Failure To Adequately Perform TS Surveillance Requirement WCGS TS 4.0.5 requires, in part, that, " Inservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code . . . except where specific written relief has been granted . . . ."

ASME Section XI, Division 1, 1980 Edition, Subsection IWV, states, in part, "If a valve . . . exceeds its specified limiting value of full-stroke time by this testing, then corrective action shall be initiated immediately. If the condition is not, or cannot be, corrected within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the valve shall be declared inoperative."

Contrary to the above, on March 5, 1986, the open limit switch to valves AL HV-032 and AL HV-033 (essential service water to turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump) were adjusted in the closed direction in order i to meet the stroke time requirement of 15 seconds, however, this action redJced the stroke travel of the valve so that it no longer fulfilled the full-stroke provisions of ASME Section XI. Thus, the valve did not meet its full-stroke time.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (SupplementI.D)(482/8608-03)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Kansas Gas and Electric Company 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) the 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.

Dated at Arlington, Texas, this 2nd day of July 1986
