r APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Arkansas Power &. Light Company Dockets: 50-313/86-15 50-368/86-15 Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 Licenses: DPR-51 NPF-6 During an NRC inspection conducted during the period May 1-31, 1986, violations of the NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved failure to lock a manual valve in position as required, failure to have adequate controls over the installation of temporary scaffolds in the vicinity of safety-related equipment, and lack of calibration data that would demonstrate the accuracy of measurement of the admixture liquid dispenser being utilized at t.he concrete supplier's facility. 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. Unit2 Te hnical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering . . . a., Th~e applicable procedures recommended in Section 3 of Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 that instructions for PWR Systems such as the Containment Spray System should be prepared and followed.

-Operating Procedure 2104.05, " Containment Spray System," Attachment A, provided a valve lineup for the containment spray system and specified that the two manual valves in the sodium hydroxide tank 3-inch drain line be locked closed.

Contrary to the above, on May 23, 1986, the NRC inspectors found that one of the two valves, 2BS-1016, was not locked in position. Both valves were closed and 2BS-1015 was locked closed, as required.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I.E) (368/8615-07)

B. Criterion II of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and Section 2.4 of the approved Arkansas Power & Light Quality Assurance Manual -

Operations (AP&L QAM), requires that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished under suitably controlled conditions. Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and Section 5 of the AP&L QAM requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Contrary to the above, the controls for erection of scaffolding was less than adequate in that, on May 23, 1986, the NRC inspector found that temporary scaffolds had been installed in the Unit 2 auxiliary building in the vicinity of the 'A' containment spray pump with one end of the W**en a

2 scaffolds being supported by seismic category I piping. Also, on May 28, 1986, the NRC inspector found that scaffold supports were wired to four seismic category I pipes in the same area.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I.0) (368/8615-08)

C. Criterion XII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, states that " measures shall be established to assure that tools, gages, instruments, and other measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specific periods to maintain Eccuracy within necessary limits."

Section 12 of the Arkansas Power & Light Quality Assurance Manual -

Operations states, in part, " Measuring and test equipment is to be properly controlled, calibrated and adjusted at specific intervals or prior to use _to assure the necessary accuracy of calibrated equipment . . . . " '

National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), Certification of Ready Mixed Concrete Production Facilities, checklist item number 2.4.3 states; "Each volumetric dispenser provided with accurately calibrated container in which the admixtures may be collected when it is desired to check the accuracy of measurement as indicated in 2.5.4."

~ AP&L Specification, APL-C-2401, dated November 15, 1985, Section 9.4 3.b.

states, that the_ Batch Plant inspector shall perform at random, a general and visual , inspection of Concrete Supplier's facility for handling and storage of materials, batching equipment and truck mixers (ex.,

. calibration of scales, scales and and dispensers synchronization, truck s mixer blade wear, etc.) using the NRMCA Checklist as a guide.

' Contrary to the above, the licensee could not provide documented evidence that the volumetric' admixture dispenser, utilized at the concrete supplier's facility, was calibrated as prescribed by NRMCA, paragraphs 2.4.3 and 2.5.4, nor evidence of inspection requirements performed as stipulated in AP&L specification APL-C-2401, Section 9.4.3(b).

This is a Severity Level V violation. (Supplement I.E) (313/8615-01; 368/8615-01)
