l l NOTICE OF VIOLATION lES Utilities Inc. Docket No. 50-331 Duane Amold Energy Center License No. DPR-49 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 5 and 6,1998, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:

1. Criterion V of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, " Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,"

requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with those procedures.

(a) Administrative Control Procedure ACP 1408.1, Revision 30, Section 3.2.(9),

stated, " changes in scope of work after authorization of a PMAR for work shall be documented and if necessary a CMAR form initiated. Changes shall be rerouted through affected departments."

Contrary to the above, on April 12,1998, licensee maintenance staff failed to adequately document and reroute through affected departments for review f

)

and approval, changes made in scope of work to Preventive Maintenance i Action Request (PMAR) 1099102 after authorization of the PMAR for work.

l (b) General Maintenance Procedure GMP-ELEC-08, " Scotch Brand Tape and  !

Grayboot Connections installations instructions," Revision 15, Section 5.1(8) stated, " determine from Appendix 6 which kit is required." In addition, Section 5.2, " Kit GB-1 Installation Instructions," Step (2), stated, " verify wire insulation diameter is between 0.09 and 0.16 inches for wire sizes 12 to 18 AWG in diameter," prior to performing the Grayboot installation.

l Contrary to the above, on May 6,1998, the inspector identified that on April 15,1995, during performance of PMAR 1084312, the wrong size Grayboot kit was installed to the motor power leads of valve M02009-0, "RHR 1P229A min flow valve". This occurred because the licensee failed to ensure that the 0.09 to 0.16 inches acceptance criteria for wire insulation diameter of wire sizes 12 to 18 AWG, as specified in procedure BMP-ELEC-008, was met. l l

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).

2. Criterion 11 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, " Quality Assurance Program," states, in part, the licensee shall establish a program which will provide for indoctrination and j training of personnel performing activities affecting quality, as necessary, to assure  !

that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.

Notice of Violation Contrary to the above, the inspector identified that as of May 5,1998, the licensee failed to establish a program which will provide for adequate indoctrination and training of personnel performing Grayboot applications, which are activities affecting quality, to assure that suitable proficiency is achieved and maintained.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region 111, 801 Warrenville Road, Lisle, Illinois 60532-4351, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the Duane Arnold Energy Center 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 required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where gou cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

If you contest this enforcement action, you should also provide a copy of your response to the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. If personal privacy, or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim of withholding (e.g.,

explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information). If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
