Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2.
Licensee procedure Station Directiva 3.0.3, Rev. 8 requires appropriate personnel to assign the responsible group for releasing a system to be worked on.
Technical Specification 4.11.2.1.1 requires dose rates to be determined for gaseous effluent releases.
Contrary to the above, a procedure was not followed in that work on the Gaseous Waste System was assigned to be released by the Operations group; instead of the responsible group which was Radweste Chemistry. This failure to follow procedures caused the inadvertent gas release of January 5,1987.
Also, the dose rate was not determined prior to this release on January 5, 1987.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
B.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. Licensee Operations Procedure OP/1/B/6100/10X requires operator actions upon receiving the alarm for the Auxiliary Building Ventilation High Radiation Monitor, EMF-41.
Contrary to the above, on January 5,1987, operators did not take actions after receiving the EMF-41 alarm and failed to follow the procedure.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

Technical Specification 3.3.2 requires the licensee to have Engineered Safety Features Actuation System instrumentation channels operable as shown in Table 3.3-3.
The table identifies the Containment Pressure - High and Containment Pressure - High-High actuation instrumentation as a requirement for Operational Modes 1, 2 and 3.
Three total channels of Containment Pressure - High are a required condition of operability and the action statement requires the licensee to place an inoperable channel in the tripped condition within one hour.
Four total channels of Containment Pressure - High-High are a required condition of operability and the action statement requires an inoperable channel to be placed in the bypassed condition.
Contrary to the above, from November 19, 1986 to December 6, 1986, while the unit was in Operational Modes 1 and 2 and one channel of containment pressure inoperable due to its transmitter being isolated, the licensee did not place the inoperable Containment Pressure - High channel in the tripped condition and the inoperable Containment Pressure - High-High channel in the bypassed condition.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation applicable to Unit 1 only.
