,.. p3' APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Docket: 50 458 River 8end Station License: NPF-47

~ During an NRC' inspection conducted on March 15 through April 30, 1989, a violation of HRC requirements was identified. The violation-involved a failure to take adequate corrective action to ensure equipment'and personnel' protection. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:

Failure To Take Adequate Corrective Action to Ensure Personnel and Equipment Protection Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.

Quality Assurance Directive QAD-16, " Corrective Action," Section 4.3, states that procedures shall require that correctiv'eaction be promptly initiated and adequately documented by the responsible department to correct the. condition and to determine if action is necessary to preclude its recurrence.

River Bend Nuclear Procedure RBNP-047., " Corrective Action Program,"

Section 5.4, requires that corrective action be promptly. initiated and adequately documented by the responsible department to correct the condition and to determine if action is necessary to preclude its' recurrence.

A. Contrary to the above, adequate corrective actions were not taken to prevent repeat violations of Administrative Procedure ADM-027,

" Protective Tagging." During the period of March 18 through April 12, 1989, the licensee identified eleven procedural violations of ADM-027. The corrective actions taken did not determine the extent to which protective tagging program violations existed..

B. Contrary to the above, corrective actions described in Licensee Event Report (LER)87-029, " Residual Heat Removal System Isolation Due to Inadvertent Jumper Grounding," were not adequately documented in that no procedural changes were implemented to prohibit the practice of taping together two short jumper wires rather than using a jumper of the appropriate length. As a result, the unit underwent a loss of shutdown cooling for 6 minutes on April 27, 1989, when a taped jumper separated during a surveillance test.  ;

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I)(458/8911-01)
