Vi License No. NPF-29 "

7, . ..;

During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on '

September 19 - October 16, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was ."

identified. The violation involved failure to document and evaluate Standby Liquid Control System test discrepancies. In accordance with the " General , < ,

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, .' s

{

Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below: .

Technical Specification 6.8.1. requires written procedures be estabished ' ;

9 and implemented for safety related activities. Procedure 06-0P-1C41-M-001, paragraphs 5.1. 7, 5.1.9 and 5.2.13.c require the *c.

operator verify that the Standbv Liquid Control system relief valve .T F029A(B) does not lift during recirculation to the test tank. The ASME .!

8 & PV Code,Section III, NC-7513.1, requires the system relief valve lift -

tolerance not exceed + 3% of set pressure. Administrative procedure '

01-S-03-3, Revision 70, Material Nonconformance Reports (MNCRs),  :. s t

paragraph 1. 2 states "This procedure shall be used to document discrepancies concerning material related documentation, i.e. test results, .

.L'.:

certification, etc, which leave the continued acceptability of installed hardware indeterminate." R.

v- _

Contrary to the above, on September 10, 1987 the Standby Liquid Control '

(SLC) system relief valve lifted while the SLC system was recirculating i water to a test tank. On Ceptember 11, 1987 while performing a SLC system relief valve functional test, the relief valve lifted outside the .~

allowable + 3% lift tolerance. In both events the licensee failed to initiate a lonconformance Report and did not evaluate the acceptability of continued SLC system operability before returning the SLC system to operation. 3 t ..

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Systems Energy Resources, Inc. is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the -
