NOTICE OF VIOLATION 4

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating. Corporation Docket: 50-482 .

Wolf Creek Generating Station ^ - License: NPF-42 During an NRC inspection conducted on. February 2-6, 1987, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved a failure to maintain.

the plant Total Setpoint Document (TSPD).up-to-date and the failure to perform activities in accordance with established procedures. In accordance with'the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violations are listed below:

A. FailuretoMaintainTotalSetpointDocument(TSPD)Up-to-Date Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering . . . a. The .

applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of RG 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978." Section 8 of Appendix A of RG 1.33 states that, " Specific procedures for . . . calibrations should be written (, . . for each

. . . calibration listed in the Technical Specifications)."

~

The licensee has established and implemented Procedure ADM 05-103, Revision 2, "WCGS Total Setpoint' Document" in accordance with TS 6.8.1.

Section 5.2.1 of ADM 05-103 states "The results engineering group will update and control the WCGS TPSD."

Contrary to the above, a change request (No. AE 85-03) which had been issued and signed as being completed to update the feedwater flow transmitter calibration test data contained in the WCGS TPSD had not been-made. This resulted in using the incorrect test data to calibrate feedwater flow transmitters on or before January 14, 1987.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (SupplementI)(482/8705-01)

8. Failure to Perform Activities In Accordance with Established Procedures TechnicalSpecification(TS)6.8.1requiresthat,"Writtenprocedures shall te established, implemented, and maintained covering . . . a. The applicible procedures recommended in Appendix A of RG 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978." Section 8 of Appendix A of RG 1.33 states that activities related to surveillance tests should be covered by written procedures.

Administrative Procedure ADM 02-300, Revision 8 " Surveillance Testing,"

and Surveillance Test STS RE-011, Revision 1, "RCS Total Flow Rate Measurement" had been established and implemented in accordance with the above TS.

Section A.3 of ADM 02-300 defined test deficiency as "Any degraded condition associated with a surveillance activity which potentially -

results in the acceptance criteria not being met, premature' termination of the surveillance, or any STS procedural discrepancies which require a procedure change."

Section 5.4.1.3 states that each test performer is responsible for documenting and reporting all test deficiencies to the shift supervisor, and Section 6.7.1 states:

"Upon determination of a Test Deficiency, tho Test _ Performer shall:

Notify Shift Supervisor Document a brief description of the condition in the Test Deficiency section of the STRS. (Section3, Attachment 1)

Initial and date in the Test Deficiency section of the STRS.

(Section3,_ Attachment 1)."

Contrary to the above, during the performance of surveillance test STS RE-011,. Revision 1, "RCS Total Flow Rate Measurement," on January 14, 1987, even though the total RCS flow rate calculated in accordance with STS RE-011 was below the minimum flow required by the STS and TS 3.2.3, the test performer did not, upon determination of this test deficiency, perform the activities required by Sections 5.4.1.3 and 6.7.1 of _

Administrative Procedure ADM 02-300, Revision 8, " Surveillance Testing."

This is a Severity Level V violation. (SupplementI)(482/8705-02)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR.2.201, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation 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.
