n ATTACHMENT During the NRC inspection period of July 1 to August 31, 1985, three violations were identified. The Omaha Public Power District (0 PPD) responded to violation 285/8515 by letter (LIC-85-421) dated September 11, 1985.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Polic Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions", 10 CFR 2, Appendix C(y and1985),the violations 285/8515-02 and 285/8515-03, and the OPPD responses are provided here.
A.
Failure to Meet Licensing Requirements US NRC License SMC-1420, dated September 3,1982, authorizes 0 PPD to store up to 630 tons of UF6 at the Fort Calhoun Station, subject to the conditions contained in the licensee's application dated August 27, '981, and supplements dated February 26, 1982, and April 1, 1982.
In paragraph A-2 of the supplement dated February 26, 1982, (LIC-82-051), in response to an NRC question, the licensee stated that the " proposed storage locations will be maintained free of combustible materials."
Contrary to the above, on July 17, 1985, the NRC inspector observed two cans of paint with flammable markings, two open paint buckets, and assorted paint trays, rollers, and brushes within the UF6 storage area.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI.D 2)
(285/8515-02).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Omaha Public Power District is hereby required to submit to this Office, within 30 days of the date of this letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation 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. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
OPPD'S RESPONSE (1) Reason For The Violation If Admitted Maintenance persons painting the UF6 cariisters were unaware that flammable materials should not be stored in the UF6 areas because there were no proper postings (i.e. signs, posters, etc.).
l f
P
. (2). Corrective Steps Taken And Results Achieved Upon notification, the Shift Supervisor notified the' Duty s
' Supervisor who' directed the Shift Supervisor to have the unauthorized stored materials removed from the area. The Shift Supervisor immediately complied as verified by NRC Inspection Report 50-285/85-15.
(3)- Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further
' Violations OPPD has posted signs on the fenced area housing the UF6 area warning. personnel.that combustible materials are not permitted within 100 feet of the fenced area.
.(4)- The Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved
.OPPD is presently in compliance.
B..
Failure To Implement Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements Amendment 87 to the Fort Calhoun Station Technical Specifications incorporated Item 29.a into Table 3-3 for the Toxic Gas Detectors which requires that " comparisons of readings from redundant channels" be done on a shift basis. Surveillance Test ST-TGM-1, " Toxic Gas Monitors", was issued on June' 18, 1985, to. implement this requirement and Section F.1 requires that every shift the Operations Department, " read, compare, and record readings on ppm gauge on each Toxic Gas Monitor. Enter readings on Form FC-71."
Contrary to the above, on July 15, 1985, the NRC inspector reviewed 1
Form FC-71 and determined that the licensee had failed to perform this routine surveillance test.
I This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I.D.3)
(285/8515-03).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Omaha Public Power District is hereby required to submit to this Office, within 30 days of the date of this letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation 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. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time, l

[2 PPD'SRESPONSE (1) Reason For The Violation If Admitted Surveillance Test, ST-TGM-1, was issued with the incorporation of Amendment 87 to the Technical Specifications to read, compare, and record readings from each Toxic Gas Monitor on Form FC-71. However, the change to Form FC-71, that was necessary, was lost and did not get incorporated with the issue of ST-TGM-1.
(2) Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved Upon learning of this administrative error, the change to Form FC-71 was immediately incorporated. Then the Toxic Gas Monitor readings were completed and recorded on the amended Form FC-71.
(3) Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Further Violations in the future, new surveillance requirements resulting from Technical Specifications changes will be tracked to completion on existing 0 PPD action log.
(4) The Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved OPPD is presently in compliance.
