o In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for .NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the. violations are listed below:

A. Technical . Specification .6.8.1.a requires the licensee to implement written procedures as recommended by Appendix A of. Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972. Appendix item A.3, Equipment Control, requires procedures for l

clearances.

Administrative Instruction (AI)-58, Equipment Clearance Procedure.

Revision 25, Section 4.1'.2.3.3.c requires that' Clearance Tag Sheet, Attachment- C, be filled out for each valve which is to be manipulated during the maintenance work indicating location (valve number). N/A is to be marked in the " Tag No." column to indicate that a clearance tag is not-required.

AI-58, Section 4.1.2.3.5 requires that equipment be in a safe condition to perform the work when valves are positioned according to Clearance Tag Sheet, Attachment C.

< Al-58, Section 4.1.4 requires that individuals accepting a clearance verify that tags have been properly placed on components as necessary. tc place equipment in a safe condition.

Contrary to the above, on January 27, 1989, AI-58 was not properly implemented in that, clearance 1-189A, which was prepared and goroved by operations personnel and accepted by maintenance personnel, did not adequately establish the clearance boundaries for maintenance work to be done on the unit 1 C41-F010 and C41-F014 valves. In addition, Attachment ~ j C to clearance 1-189A did not list valves C41-F010 and C41-F014 as valves i to be manipulated during the maintenance activity. The improper I clearance, manipulation of the valves, and subsequent maintenance, resulted 'in an inadvertent draining of approximately 450 gallons from the Unit 1 Standby Liquid Control System Tank.

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