1. Technical Specification 6.2 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B require that detailed written procedures be prepared, approved, and adhered to for operation of the reactor.

Contrary to the above the following failure to prepare and adhere to procedures took place:

With Unit 2 in cold shutdown, a reactor scram occurred on August 17, 1987, at 2110 hours0.0244 days <br />0.586 hours <br />0.00349 weeks <br />8.02855e-4 months <br /> due to vessel low level. This occurred when the unit operator, without a procedure, attempted to control vessel level with the normal letdown path isolated. The technique which the operator used involved opening valves which are forbidden to be opened by the 4 Shutdown Cooling Startup and Operation Procedure. A contributing factor I was a failure of the Operating Engineer to provide adequate direction to the unit operator on how to maintain vessel level with the normal letdown path isolated.

l This is considered a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

2. l Technical Specification 6.2 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B require that detailed I written procedures be prepared, approved, and adhered to for operation of the reactor.
