April 2, 1987
Contrary to all
of the above, Hold Tag 87-042 was placed on
Electrical Cabinet I-9366 on February. 15,
1987, without obtaining
concurrence of the shift supervisor.
The equipment involved did
effect plant operations.
(1) The reason for the violation:
The procedure requirement is vague in that it does not provide
for acknowledgement by the Shift Supervisor nor does it indicate
when the shift supervisor is to be notified of a nonconforming
condition associated with plant equipment.
'
(2) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results
achieved:
A procedure change was initiated by PDR 87-1299 and PORC approved
on March 3, 1987, which clarifies the requirement for informing
1
the
Shift Supervisor and obtaining his acknowledgement by
signature of all NCR's written against plant equipment.
Administrative Procedure Q-15 now states:
For nonconforming items affecting plant equipment operations
Quality Control shall;
a)
Obtain the signature of the Shift Supervisor after the
NCR has received a number and prior to the NCR being
,
,,
dispositioned.
b)
Concur with the Shift Supervisor on placement of the
hold tag.
The Shift Supervisor shall initial the hold
tag which indicates he is aware of the hold status of
the equipment.
c)
It is the responsibility of the Shift Supervisor to
contact Technical Services.for an operability review in
accordance with the Technical Specifications for the
item on hold.
'
d)
In the case where an operability review determines that
a component is allowed to operate, QC shall identify on
the
hold
tag
"May
operate in accordance with
operability review."
(3) The corrective steps which will
be taken to avoid further
violations.
POR-87-1299 is a permanent change to Administrative Procedure
0-15.
The centinued implementation of POR-87-1299 will
prevent
re-occurrence of this situation.
