i APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Houston Lighting & Power Company Dockets: 50-498 South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2 50-499 Operating Licenses:
NPF-76 NPF-78 j
During an NRC inspection conducted on March 13-17, 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved three examples of the failure to follow approved procedures and one example of an inadequate procedure.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Polic for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988)y and Procedure
, the violation is listed below.
Failure to Follow Procedures / Inadequate Procedure Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved quality assurance program require that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Contrary to the above, three examples were noted where approved procedures were not followed and one example where an approved procedure was not appropriate to the circumstances. These examples are listed below.
1.
Station Procedure OPGP03-ZF-0004, Revision 1, " Control of Transient Fire Loaos," Section 4.14, states that plant areas shall not be used for bulk storage of combustible material except as evaluated by the fire protection coordinator and approved by management. Such storage shall be posted (including required precautions and storage conditions) using a Combustible Material Storage Authorization Form.
Contrary to the above, on March 15, 1989, combustible materials (mop handles, mop heads, plastic bags, and cleaning rags) were found stored outside of their storage locker in Room 301 (electrical penetration area), while the approved Combustible Material Storage Authorization #88-071 attached to the locker stated that this material was to be stored inside the locker with the doors closed.
2.
Station Procedure OPGP03-ZI-0002, Revision 2, " Erection and Use of Temporary Scaffolding," Section 4.1.1, states that project engineering shall inspect scaffolding built over and around Category 1 safety-related components.
Contrary to the above, temporary scaffolding was erected in the overhead of all three of the emergency cooling water (ECW) pump bays without an inspection and evaluation by project engineering. The scaffolding was directly above safety-related cable trays.

Station Procedure OPGP03-ZA.0002, Revision 16, " Plant Procedures,"
l Section 14.2.1, states that the procedure reviewer of a converted procedure shall verify that Field Change Requests (FCRs) were incorporated correctly.
Contrary to the above, two examples were found where the procedure reviewer did not verify that FCRs were correctly incorporated into a converted procedure. These examples were:
A field change request initiated per instructions in Unreviewed j
Safety Question Evaluation (USQE) 88-0146 to instruct the operator concerning control of the ECW chiller condenser pressure was not incorporated into the procedure.
Valve 2-SI-0121A (Low Head Safety Injection Pump 2A flush line isolation valve) was omitted from Procedure Checklist 2P0P0Z-SI-0002-1 because an FCR was not incorporated into the procedure.
4.
The licensee documented an Unreviewed Safety Question Evaluation (USQE)#88-0146 for a temporary modification to the emergency cooling water (ECW) system. This USQE required an appropriate emergency operating procedure revision to direct manual operator action for essential chiller operation when the ECW pond temperature exceeds 53'F following an event.
Contrary to the above, activities affecting quality were not prescribed by procedures appropriate to the circumstances in that the emergency operating procedure revision was not made to direct manual operator action as required by USQE 88-0146.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
