1 J APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Docket: 50-458 River Bend Station License: NPF-47 During an NRC inspection conducted on June 16 through July 31, 1987, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved a failure of timely followup action to verify that specified corrective actions were completed. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR 2, Appendix C (1987), the violation is listed below:

l Failure of Followup Action Criterion XV' of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B and the licensee's approved QA program requires that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.

Quality Assurance Directive (QAD) 16, " Corrective Action," requires appropriate departments to provide for timely followup reviews to verify that specified corrective action has been properly implemented and corrective action documentation has been closed out. l l

Contrary to the above, on June 30 and July 15, 1987, respectively it was found that specified corrective action for NRC Violation 458/8531-01 and Deviation 458/8622-02 had not been implemented. Timely followup reviews had not been conducted to verify that specified corrective action was properly implemented. Specifically, corrective action for Violation 458/8531-01 included revising certain surveillance test procedures by December 31, 1986, and this had not been accomplished as of 4 June 30, 1987. Also, corrective action for Deviation 458/8622-02 included a commitment that operation of the radioactive waste sludge tank sample collection system would commence at the end of 1986. This sample collection system was still not operable as of July 15, 1987.
