APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Louisiana Power & Light Company Docket: 50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License: NPF-38 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 22-26 and September 19-23, 1988, violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations irtvolved failure to process vendor information properly, failure to control.the process of dedication, failure to correct identified misclassification of equipment, and failure to justify the acceptability of nonconforming circuit breakers for continued use. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Action," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violations are listed below:
A. Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved quality assurance (QA) program description require that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with procedures.
Procedure No. N0SAI-201, " Process of Vendor Information," paragraph 5.4.1, requires that the Operations Assessment and Information Dissemination specialist review vendor information packages for completeness, and check for documentation that a technical review was performed.
Contrary to the above, 17 service bulletins from the emergency diesel generator (EDG) vendor were not reviewed for completeness and checked for documentation of a technical review, which resulted in a failure to implement appropriate corrective maintenance actions. For example, replacement of turbocharger support bolts, which had been recommended by vendor Bulletin No. 691, was not accomplished. Several of these bolts in both EDGs were observed by the Vendor Inspection Branch (VIB) inspectors to be loose or fractured.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplements)(382/8823-01)
B. Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved QA program description require that measures be established for the selection and review for suitability of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of structures, systems, and components.
Contrary to the above, the following examples were noted where dedication of consnercial grade items for safety-related applications was not accomplished in accordance with established design control measures:
- 1. A Potter Brumfield relay was dedicated and installed in the safety-related "A" chiller without preparation of the required documentation of equivalency to original equipment specifications stipulated by paragraph 5.3.4.2 of Administrative Procedure UNT-7-021, Revision 3.
8810060D73 880929 PDR ADOCK 05000332 O puu
2 4 -
- 2. A hypoid gear was dedicated and installed in a safety-related Limitorque actuator without establishing an engineering basis as-required by paragraph 5.3.4.2 of Administrative Procedure UNT-7-021, Revision 3. Neither was verification obtained from the supplier of equivalency to original equipment specifications, nor was a technical evaluation made to determine acceptability of the part for dedication.
- 3. Westinghouse 600 volt molded case circuit breakers were dedicated and installed in safety-related control room emergency lighting circuits without obtaining appropriate verification from the supplier of equivalency to original equipment specifications.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplements)(382/8823-03)
C. Criterion XV of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as implemented by Section 17.2.15.7 of the approved quality assurance program description, requires further use of a nonconforming item be controlled pending an evaluation and an approved disposition by authorized personnel. Also, a technical justification for the acceptability of a nonconforming item that is continued to be used is required.
Contrary to the above, nonconfonning items continued to be used (i.e.,
nonqualified 600 volt molded circuit breakers installed in a safety-related application for control room emergency lighting) without a technical justification for their acceptability pending replacement.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I)(382/8823-05)
D. Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved QA program description require that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
Cor rary to the above, commercial grade spare relays which were identified by t 3 urns and Roe audit in 1983 to be improperly classified at the time of receipt from the vendor as safety-related commercial grade (Quality
- Class III) were not downgraded as of the time of the VIB inspection in December 1987 to the appropriate nonsafety-related classification (Quality Class IV).
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplements)(382/8823-06)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Louisiana Power & Light Company is hereby required to submit to this office, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply.
3 including for each violation: (1) the reason for the violations if admitted, (2) the corrective steps-which have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid'further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
