ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Entergy Operations, Inc.
Docket No.:
50-313 Arkansas Nuclear One License No.: DPR-51 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 29 through May 9,1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.8.1 states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972.
I Paragraph A.3 of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972, states, in part, that equipment control (e.g., locking and tagging) should be covered by written procedures.

cards. Step 15.2 requires an operator to document release authorization for all lead craftsman that a tagout is issued by having each lead craftsman review and sign Form 1000.027C," Partial / Temporary Release Authorization Sheet." Step 15.4 requires that a control room supervisor review the Partial / Temporary Release Authorization Sheet and the Hold Card Authorization Form and verify that all craftsmen signed in on the hold card are listed on Form 1000.027C and that release authorization has been obtained l
from all lead craftsmen.
Contrary to the above, on March 31,1998, two licensed senior reactor operators completing Form 1000.027C did not identify that two craftsmen were signed in on Hold Card 98-1-0364 and failed to obtain their authorization prior to approving the temporary release of a hold card.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) (50-313/9804-01).
