TS 4.5.3.1.c.2 required the performance of an instrument channel calibration and verification that the setpoint was 5 e 1.5 pounds per square inch difference (psid) greater than normal.

. Contrary to the above, on the December 12, 1996, and February 26, 1997, performances of maintenance surveillance test procedure 1HST CS210 CS Sparger High dP Chan Cal, the licensee failed to verify that the Core Spray Sparger Break Detector alarm setpoint of 31 i 71nches of water was set 5 1.5 psid greater than the indicated normal differential pressure of -154 inches of water as required per TS 4.5.3.1.c.2. A normal value was stated in the procedure, but the actual plant normal value had changed.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I). This is applicable to Unit 1~.

B. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B., Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures shall be' established to assure that conditions adverse to quality such as deficiencies, deviations, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.

Plant Program Procedures OPLP 04, Corrective Action Management, implements these requirements. This procedure requires that Condition Reports (CR) be written upon identification of an adverse condition and prompt notification to the Operations Shift Superintendent of a potential operability or reportable event.

Contrary to the above, on March 11, 1997, upon identification of an adverse condition, a CR was not generated and investigative actions assigned as required by 0PLP 04. CR 97 1277 was not written until March 31, 1997, and a four hour report was made to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iii)(D).

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1). This is applicable to both Units.
