Item 2, Section 2.2, of Procedure EMF-858, No.1.13, " Engineering Change Notice (ECN)," Revision 16, dated October 24,1995, states, in part, that field changes done under an open ECN must be documented and included in the ECN file prior to startup approval Contrary to the above, a field change was made under an open ECN (No. 5533L) and was not documented or included with the ECN package prior to startup approval on August 6,1996. Specifically, the electrical supply to a controller for two newly installed air sampling vacuum pumps was changed to a different power source from that provided in the drawing with the ECN package. This field change resulted in the failure of the air sampling system to operate on emergency power as intended during a loss of normal site power on December 10,1996.
