February 1978.
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, paragraph 1, I
recommends procedures for equipment control (e.g.,
locking and
^
l tagging).
1 I
I Licensee procedure 30AC-0PS-001-0S, " Control of Equipment Clearances and Tags", establishes requirements for the control and periodic review of equipment tags.
Section 8.13.1 of this procedure requires that Caution Tag Index/ Audit Sheets be reviewed monthly.
I Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to conduct reviews of the l
Unit 2 Caution Tag Index/ Audit Sheets during the months of May, June l
and September of 1987.
i This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).
J RESPONSE TO VIOLATION 87-26-01 Admission or denial of violation:
The events occurred as stated in NRC Notice of Violation 87-26-01.
Reason for the ylolatiqu:
The violation occurred due to Operations Department supervisory personnel failing to follow procedure 30AC-0PS-001-05, " Control of Equipment Clearances and Tags".
Step 8.13.1 of the above mentioned procedure requires a
monthly review to be conducted on all outstanding clearance and cautiun tags.
While the reviews of outstanding cleat antes wie conducted as required, the reviews of I
caution tags were not performed fer the months of May, June and September of 1987.

" Georgia Power d ENCLOSURE (Continued)
TRANSCRIPTION OF VIOLATION 87-26-01 AND GPC RESPONSE A contributing factor to the violation.was that prior to October.
20, 1987, the computer printout which is' used to initiate the performance of the required reviews stated " monthly audit of clearance-index and clearances".
'This apparently-led the Operations Department supervisory personnel-to.the erroneous, conclusion that only a review of clearances was required.
Corrective steos which have been taken and the results achieved:
The appropriate Operations Department personnel were counselled regarding this item and' the consequences of failing to follow-procedures.
The computer program which tracks the performance. of reviews required by procedure 30AC-0PS-001-0S has been modified.such that the printout now clearly indicates that monthly reviews of both clearances and. caution tags are required.
The data base was Lalso reviewed for any similar inadequacies although none were identified, t
)
All reviews required by 30AC-0PS-001-0S since.the violation was' i
identified have been satisfactorily performed.
j Corrective stens which will'be taken to avoid further violations:
No further corrective actions are required.to prevent recurrence.
)
l Date when full comoliance will be achieved-I He are currently in full compliance with the requirements.
