The violations involved a failure to comply with licensee's temporary modification procedure and a failure to lock a valve as required. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for hRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violations are listed below:

A. Failure To Comply With Licensee's Temporary Modification Procedure Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering . . . a. The applicable procedures recommended in f.ppendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978."

Administrative Procedure (ADM)02-101, Revision 15, " Temporary Modifications," has been established and implemented in accordance with the above TS to control temporary modifications to ensure an accurate control of station equipment is maintained and to ensure the return of a system to its permanent configuration.

5-ection 6.1.1.1 of ADM 02-101, Revision 15, May 27, 1986, states that, "The type of temporary modification shall be indicated in the activity to be performed block. Information to be recorded in Section D and on each temporary modification tag should be as follows:

the above TS to establish the administrative controls required of various organizations to carry out their assigned responsibilities.

Section 4.2.4 of ADM 01-001, Revision 12, April 1,1986, states that, "Those participating in any activity shall be made aware of, and use, proper and current instructions, procedures, drawings, and engineering requirements for performing the activity as applicable."

Contrary to the above, on August 5, 1986, the NRC inspector reviewed Temporary Modification Orders 86-72KC and 86-81KC. The NRC inspector observed that ADM 02-101 had not been followed in that the required information for a lifted lead had not been recorded in Section D of Temporary Modification Order 86-81KC, and that Temporary Modification Tag 86-72-KC-01 had been hung but the appropriate space on the temporary modification order was missing initials for tag installation and verification. -The NRC inspector also observed that ADM 01-001 had not been followed in that Temporary Modification Order 86-72KC, prepared on July 10, 1986, used out-of-date ADM 02-101, Revision 14, versus the then current Procedure ADM 02-101, Revision 15, May 27, 1986.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I.D) (482/8618-01).

Checklist A of CKL AL-120 requires, in part, that the handwheels to Valves AL HV-006, AL HV-008, AL HV-010, and AL HV-012 be lockwired in the neutral positions.

Contrary to the above, on August 20, 1986, the NRC inspectors observed that 3 out of the 4 turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (TDAFWP) discharge valve handwheels were in the required neutral position but were not properly lockwired. Valve ALHV-006 had its lockwire broken and twisted back together, ALHV-008 was not lockwired, and ALHV-010 was lockwired so loosely that the valve could.be operated.
