Notice of Violation - J.B.
Gagliardo letter to
J.C.
Deddens,
dated June 29, 1987.
FAILURE TO TOLLOW SURVEILLANCE TEST PROCEDURE:
Technical Specification, paragraph 6.8.1.d requires that written
,
procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained for
l
surveillance and test activities of safety-related equipment.,
Surveillance

CHFUNCT
(D17-K610A),"
and STP-051-4267,
"ECCS DRYWELL PRESSURE-HICH
MONTHLY CHFUNCT;
18 MONTH CHCAL;
18 MONTH LSFT (B21-N098B;
B21-N694B)," each require in the prerequisites, Step 6.1, that
each performer read and familiarize himself with the
test and
then indicate so by signing and initialing the step.
Contrary to the above, STP-511-4501 and STP-051-4267 performed on
l
'
May 16, 1987, and June 4, 1987, respectively, did not have all of
the required prerequisite signatures to Step 6.1 indicating that
,
{
each technician had read and understood the procedure prior to
their performing the procedure.
'
REASON FOR THE VIOLATION:
I
l
Personnel
made a procedural error which resulted in this
violation. During both occurrences, the STPs had becn started by
one technician which had properly read and signed the STP.
However, another technician who later assisted the first did not
sign the appropriate area of the STP.

l
Memorandum APM-M-87-171, dated June 22, 1986, has been issued to
i
l
reiterate the importance of sigding the required steps. A review
of applicable procedures indicates that no procedure revision is
needed.
