Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Section 3 of Appendix A requires that the j licensee have procedures for the operation of emergency power sources. l Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to establish ad6quate procedures for the operation of the emergency diesel generators when in a no or low electrical loading I condition in that no specific guidance was provided for operational restrictions on the operation of the emergency diesel generators in a low or no load condition.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (50-382/9808-01).

B. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion 111 states, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are i correctly translated into procedures and instructions.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to correctly translate applicable regulatory l requirements and the design basis into procedures and instructions in that the response time acceptance criteria contained in surveillance test procedures for the emergency feedwater system, containment fan coolers, and high pressure and low pressure safety l injection systems did not ensure that the requirements of the licensing basis were met.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) (50-382/9808-03).

C. Technical Specification 4.8.4.2.b.1 requires, in part, that all thermal overload devices for motor-operated valves, which are not bypassed, be calibrated at least once every j 6 years.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to calibrate all thermal overload devices every 6 years that the overload devices for motor-operated Valves MS-401 A(B), SI-135A(B),

SI-125A(B), and SI-412A(B) had not calibrated in the previous 6 years.
