Contrary to the above the safety evaluation for changes to normal, abnormal,
maintenance, and emergency operating procedures, which were reviewed by the
Station Operations Review Committee in accordance with TS 6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3,
and 6.3.4,.were not being routinely provided to the Safety Review and Audit
Board for their required review in meetings No. 115 through 130, dated January.
1987 through September 1988.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.

Renson for Violation
The violation occurred as a result of the District's misinterpretation of what
constitutes a safety evaluation for changes to procedures.
The District now
agrees that the " Safety Evaluation Applicability review" conducted on every
procedure change constituted a safety evaluation and under CNS Technical
i
Specification 6.2.1.B.4.a, these evaluations must be provided to end revicued
by the Df. strict's Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB).
Corrective Stens Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved
Commencing with SORC Meeting S88-154, dated October 13 and 14, 1988 the SRAB
began reviewing procedure change cover sheets completed in accordance with CNS
Procedure 0.4,
" Preparation, Review and Approval of Procedures".
These cover
sheets include the safety evaluation in question.
Corrective Stens Taken to Avoid Further Violation
As indicated in Reference 2,
the District has revised CNS Procedure 0.4 to
clarify the purpose of, and difference between, a preliminary and a detailed
safety evaluation.
To avoid further violations in this area, all preliminary
and detailed safety evaluations will be presented to the SRAB for review.
Date When Full Compliance Will be Achieved
Full compliance will be achieved by June, 1989.
