4 ENCLOS_t)RE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Nebraska Public Power District Docket No.:
50 298 Cooper Nnclear Station Licenso No.:
DPR-46 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 28 through August 14,1997, one violation of NRC requirements was identified in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.3.2, states, in part, that written procedures and instructions shall be established, implemented, and maintained for the following:
... B. Actions to be taken to correct specific... malfunctions of safety-related systems or components.
Surveillance Procedure 6.1 ADS.301, " ADS Reactor Pressure Permissive Calibration and Function and Logic Tests (Reactor in Run) (Div 1)," Revision 1, Step 8.27, states, in part, that test personnel are to connect a meter to read resistance and verify the contacts are closed.
Administrative Procedure 0.5, " Problem Identification and Resolution," Revision 8, Section 14.2, requires, in part, that all personnel are responsible for reporting problems that are, or potentially could be, conditions adverse to quality through the processes of this procedure.
Contrary to the above, on July 23,1997, the licensee failed to write a problem identification and resolution report for a known failure to follow a safety-related procedure. Specifically, during performance of Step 8.27 of Surveillance Procedure 6.1 ADS.301, when contacts were found open rather than closed, test personnel raised the test pressure (which closed the contacts), and then proceeded with the test without reporting this condition in a problem identification and resolution report.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1)(298/9713-02).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Nebraska Public Power District is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Cummission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV,611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011,, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the f acility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the
' basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the 9709190009 970912 PDR-A00CK 05000298 G
