APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Idaho State University (ISU)
Docket:
50-284 Lillibridge Engineering Laboratory License:
R-110 During an NRC inspection conducted February 26 through March 1, 1989, three violations of NRC requirements were identified. These violations involved:
(1) implementation of the. reactor operator requalification program, l
(2) implementation of the Radiological Emergency Plan, and (3) failure to obtain NRC approval prior to implementing revisions to the Physical Security Plan (PSP) and to submit revisions of the PSP to the NRC in a timely manner.
Violation 3 is exempt from public disclosure, per 10 CFR Part 2.790(d), and is discussed in the Attachment to this Appendix.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violations are listed below:
1.
Reactor Operator Requalification Program 10 CFR Part 55.59(c) requires, in part, that "A facility licensee shall have a reactor operator'requalification program reviewed and approved by the Commission."
Technical Specification 6.3 of the ISU Facility Operating License, Amendment 3, requires, in part, that "All licensed reactor operators shall
- participate in requalification training as set forth in 10 CFR Part 55.
Section 4.b of the licensee's NRC approved reactor operator requalification. program, states, in part, that "In addition to the written examination, a member or members of the Reactor Safety Committee will observe the operation of the reactor by each licensed operator and senior operator at least once during each calendar year... A report of the observation of this operating experience by the member of the Reactor Safety Committee will be reported at the next meeting of the Safety Committee and will be made a permanent part of the licensee's file."
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on March 1, 1989, that the licensee's Reactor Safety Committee had not performed observations on one senior reactor operator and one reactor operator since April 1987 and May 1988, respectively.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.

Section 6 of the Emergency Plan (Revision 3) also requires, in part, that "The Emergency Preparedness Plan shall be audited by the Reactor Safety Committee at least once every two years."
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on February 28, 1989, that no records existed showing that the Emergency Plan had been audited by the Reactor Safety Commitee since February 25, 1985.
These two examples are collectively classified as a Severity Level IV-violation.
