Gentlemen: | |||
Thank you for your letter of September 30, 1988, in response to our letter | |||
and the attached Notice of Violation dated September 1, 1988. As a result | |||
of our review, we find that additional information is needed, as discussed with | |||
your Mr. Rick J. King during a telephone call with our Messrs. W. Seidle and | |||
R. Azua on October 25, 1988. Specifically, in the area of "Corrective Steps. | |||
Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations " it was noted that corrective | |||
steps were not identified for Items B and C that would preclude recurrence of | |||
these events. In addition, the corrective steps described in the second | |||
paragraph of the same section failed to assure that supervisor of the appropriste | |||
discipline would be involved, as comitted to during the exit interview. | |||
Please provide the supplemental information within 30 days of the date of this | |||
letter. | |||

Notice of Violation - Letter from L. J. Callan to J. C. Deddens, dated | |||

VIOLATION: FAILURE TO PROPERLY EVALUATE AND DOCWENT SURVEILLANCE TEST | |||
RE5 ULT 3 | |||
Title 10, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion" XI, "Test Control," of the Code of | |||
Federal Regulations states, in part, . . . Test results shall be | |||
documented and evaluated to assure that test requirements have been | |||
satisfied." Criterion XI is implemented by RBS Quality Assurance Directive | |||
(QAD)-11, Revision 5. "Test Control." This Directive ilso requires that | |||
recorded data reveal the adequacy of the equipment of syster.c to meet the | |||
specified requirement in the acceptance criteria. Further implementation | |||
of these documents is provided by RBS adninistrative procedures (ADMs) as | |||
discussed below. Section 8.3.1 of ADM-0015 specifically disallows use of | |||
test exceptions when acceptance criteria cannot be met. Section 8.6 of | |||
ADM-0015 requires that all data, calculations, notes, etc., which are | |||
essential in proving the acceptability of s surveillance test procedure | |||
(STP), shall be recorded on the data line provided or attached to the | |||
procedure. | |||
Contrary to the above, the following failures were identified: | |||
A. Test data for STP-051-4210, completed on October 13, 1987, was | |||
incomplete in that page 24 of the 60-page procedure contained no test | |||
, | |||
data. This precluded ascertaining that the data had been properly | |||
documented and evaluated as required by 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion | |||
XI. | |||
. | |||
B. Test exceptions were written for performance of Sections 7.3.4. and | |||
" 5.4 of STP-402-0601, "Standby Gas Treatment System Annulus Mixing | |||
System Functional Tests." Writing test exceptions of an acceptance | |||
criter; n that cannot be met constituted a violation of Section J.3.1 | |||
of ADM-0013. Also, the adequacy of the system to meet the specified | |||
requirements in, the acceptance criteria was not revealed by the | |||
recorded data as rgquired by QAD-11. | |||
C. The data and calculation for the average stroke rate of Yalve | |||
1833-HYVF0 GOB timed in Step 7.4.12 of STP-053-0601, "Rectre Flow | |||
Control Valve Operability Test," were not included in the data package | |||
completed on October 24, 1981, as required by Section 8.6 of ADM-0015. | |||

REASON FOR THE VIOLATION | |||
GSU has determined that the examples cited as failure to follow procedure | |||
were caused by personnel oversite due to inattent'on to detail. However, | |||
these examples are believed to be isolated cases. Further investigation ' | |||
into each example is discussed below. | |||
A. Sincu page 24 of 60 for STP 051-4210 is unaccounted for and cannot be | |||
duplicated for record purposes, it can only be assumed that the ! | |||
technicians performing the STP were careless in maintaining the [ | |||
documentation. | |||
B. STP-403-0601, completed 12/18/87 for operability of the standby gas | |||
treatment system, was in violation of ADM-0015 Section 8.3.1. The ! | |||
testing engineer identified an unnecessary siep in the procedure. He | |||
labeled the step N/A, wrote a comment on the data page of the STP and , | |||
listed these steps as test exceptions. Since these steps were listed | |||
in the STP acceptance criteria ne was required to either revise the | |||
procedure or write a TCN to change the acceptance criteria. ; | |||
i | |||
C. For STP-053-0601 Rev. 2, the data chart was misplaced during ; | |||
transmittal to Pennanent Plant File, | |||
i | |||
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVES | |||
: A. The missing sign-offs were determined to have no impact on the , | |||
successful completion of the surveillance test procedure (STP). The l | |||
missing initials were for steps that would have been labeled N/A or | |||
. | |||
' | |||
steps that notified the operator that the STP was in progress. | |||
* | |||
B. A TCN has been issued for STP-403-0601 to reflect the actual testing l | |||
requirements for the standby gas treatment system. An imediate | |||
special test was performed 8/12/88 demonstrating operability of the , | |||
system and was documented on CR-88-0644. | |||
C. Again, since missing documents cannot be recreated for record purposes, | |||
the missing data was evaluated and determined to be backup data for the | |||
completion of the test. The data from this chart was recorded in the | |||
contents of the STP. | |||
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AY010 FURTHER VIOLATIONS | |||
STP-053-0601, Rev. 2 will be revised to assure that the data chart is | |||
