A.-
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Action," states, in
.part, " Measures shall be established to assure conditions adverse to quality such as. failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected."
Paragraph 16.2.2 of the Arkansas Power & Light Company's Quality Assurance Manual for Operations requires that cognizant supervisors review discrepancies discovered during the course of the station operations and take appropriate action to resolve the discrepancies and evaluate their safety significance. Paragraph 16.2.2 also requires, for significant conditions adverse to safety, that action be initiated to identify the root causes and that necessary corrective action be taken to preclude repetition.
Contrary to the above, on June 28, 1989, the inspector found that the corrective action that had been assigned to prevent recurrence of level differences from reactor coolant system (RCS) level indicators had not been promptly completed. The corrective action which resulted from previous deviations of RCS level indication was assigned to be performed prior to the next RCS drain down. However, the corrective action was not performed until the second RCS drain down had been completed.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
