During an NRC inspection conducted from January 4 through February 14,1998, one violation i 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:

l A. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Actions," requires that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, I malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances be promptly identified and corrected.

Station Administrative Manual Procedure STA-420, " Operations Notification and Evaluation (ONE) Forms," Revision 5, Step 6.2 required that, any individual discovering an adverse condition document or ensure that another individual documents the  ;

condition on a ONE form in a timely manner. l Contrary to the above, on February 2,1998, the licensee failed to document the heat related degradation of the Unit 2, Train B solid state safeguards sequencer, a condition l adverse to quality, on a ONE form.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) (50-446/9801-01).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, TU Electric is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Contro! ,
