Summary of Event At 0300 on 9-25-89, it was discovered that ths Technical Specificatisn 4.6.1.3.a surveillance requirement to demonstrate operability of the containment [NH] air {

lock outer door had not been performed as required following multiple containment entrics. The first containment entry occurred at 1346 on 9-20-89 cnd multiple containment entries ensued.

Description of Event A containment entry was made at 1346 on 9-20-89 for containment inspection.

Multiple containment entries vcre necessary to perform work identified during the initial containment entry. FNP-2-STP-15.0 (Containment Air Lock Door Seal ,

Operability Test) is listed in the surveillance schedule as a conditional surveillance procedure to be used for demonstrating operability of the ,

containment air lock outer door. Technical Specification 4.6.1.3.a requires the containment air lock to be demonstrated operable at least once per 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> when multiple entries are required.

s At 0300 on 9-25-89, while the Shift Supervisor and Shift Foreman were discussing requirements for unit startup, it was discovered that FNP-2-STP-15.0 had not been performed as required. Upon discovery of the missed surveillance, l

FNP-2-STP-15.0 was performed immediately. The surveillnnee test passed, indicating that the outer door was operable.

Cause of Event

, This event was caused by personnel error in that shift supervisory personnel l failed to schedule S1P-15.0 to be performed when the conditions requiring its l performance occurred. In addition, the daily Shift Foremen review of the

surveillance schedule failed to identify the plant conditionn as requiring performance of STP-15.0.
