i ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION nnes e Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327),50-328 9Y License Nos. OPR-7 DPR-79 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted May 5 -
June 2, 1988 one vio' ation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "Ge,neral Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"10CFRPart2,AppendixC(1988),theviolationislistedbelow-A.
Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that procedures recomended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, be established, implemented and maintained.
This includes maintenance proceduras and surveillance instructirns.
The requirements of TS 6.8.1 are im>1emented in part by Sequoyah nuclear plant standard practice SQM-2, "Maintenance Managelsent System" and Surveillance Instruction 51-246, "Recalibration Procedure for Reactor Coolant flow Channels".
1.
SQM-2,Section6.2,requiresthatplantconfigurationdiscrepancies be reported to the shift technical advisor immediately.
Contrary to the above, on May 15,.1988, an improper and undesignated butt solice which was associated H th steam generator No. 3 level I
indica;or 2 LI-3-97, was found to be at variance with drawing 47E 235 45.
This configuration discrepaney was not immediately re to the shift technical advisor as required by SQM-2, Section 6. ported 2.
2.
Surveillance instruction SI-246, requires that after isolating a transmitter to begin the calibration, the sense lines for the transmitter are to be depre3surized via the test tee fittings.
Contrary to the above on May 23,1988 instrument mechanics performing SI-246 depre,ssurized the sense, lines of flow transmitter 2-FT-68-71B via the high side drain valve on the bottom of the transmitter.
This deviation from procedure created a void in the transmitter's high side drain line, causing a pressure drop in the comon high side sense line to flow transmitter 2-FT-68-710 when flow transmitter 2-FT-68-718 was returned to service.
This resulted in a Unit 2 reactor trip.
This is a Severity level IV Violation (Supplement I).
