APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Public Power District Docket: 50-285 Fort Calhoun Station License: DPR-40 During an NRC inspection conducted on April 1-30, 1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved failure to establish containment integrity during refueling operations, failure to establish a fire watch in accordance with Technical Specification (TS) requirements, and failure to establish and implement the procedure for leak rate testing of c mtainment isolation valves. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violations are listed below:

A. Section (1) of TS 2.8 states, in part, that during any refueling operation, all automatic containment isolation valves shall be operable or at least one valve in each line shall be closed.

Contrary to the above, on April 9,1987, while the plant was in refueling operations, the NRC inspector noted that automatic containment isolation valves (HCV-483A and HCV-438C) for component cooling water (CCW) supply and return to the reactor coolant pumps were inoperable and the redundant CCW automatic containment isolation valves (HCV-438B and HCV-438D) in the CCW lines were not closed.

Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector discovered, on April 7, 1987, that the licensee had failed to properly establish a procedure for local leak detection tests in that-Procedure ST-CONT-3 did not provide adequate instructions for the testing performed. In addition, the licensee failed to properly implement the instructions for local leak detection in that the instructions provided in Procedure ST-CONT-3 were not followed by the technicians performing the work.~
