In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C (1987), the violation is identified below:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activides affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstance', and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the operation and maintenance of safety related plant equipment.

Contrary to the above:

1. On December 28, 1987 an error on a plant electrical drawing led to an actuation of the Reactor Protection System, causing a reactor trip.

While performing monthly surve.illance test, PT/1/A/4601/0%,

Protective System Channel 2 Functional Test, a drawing error on schematic diagram MCM 1399.03-0368 001 caused licensee personnel conducting the test on Channel 2 of narrow range steam generator level instrumentation to make an adjustment in channel 4 whicn together with the existing signal in channel 2 caused the reactor trip.

2. On December 28, 1987 licensee personnel failed to follow a procedure step causing an actuation of the Reactor. Protection System. While performing periodic test PT/0/A/4600/14C, Nuclear Instrumentation Systen Source Range Functional Test, licensee personnel elected to manipulate a test switch ir the Solid State Protection System without meeting the conditions for doing so as specified in the procedure.

This resulted in a reactor trip.

This is a Severity Level IV (Supplement I) violation and applies to Unit 1 only.
