requires that when a limiting condition for operation is not met, except
as provided in the associated action requirements, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> action
shall be initiated to place the unit in a mode in which the
specification does not apply by placing it in at least Hot Shutdown
(Mode 4) within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
.
Contrary to the above, on February 13, 1988, at 4:17 a.m., the licensee
suspended a cooldown being performed under TS 3.0.3 when maintenance
that satisfied an action for TS 3.7.14. vas complete on essential
chiller C and returned the plant to Hot Standby (MLde 3) without having
met the requirements of TS LCO 3.5.2 or its associated action statements
in that two Emergency Core Cooling 3ubsystems A and C sere not fully
eperabla.

Docket No STN 50-498
Response to Notiew of Violation 8824-02
I Statement of violation
Technical Specification (TS) Section 6.0 (Administrative Controls),
Specification 6.8.1, requires that procedures shall be established,
implemented, and maintained for plant operations. Plant Procedure
IPEP04-ZX-0004, Revision 3. "Isothemal Temperature Coef ficient (ITC)
Measurement," requires the test data taken to be reviewed and signed off
by an independent reviewer.
Contrary to the above, the NRC identified an error during a test results
verification. During the week of March 8,1988, the test was performed
and incorrset data for the ITC was obtained due to an error in
transferring the information from the test graph to the data sheet.
This led to an erroneous calculated value for the moderator temperature
coefficient. This data was signed off as reviev6d by an engineer. The
test director, engineering manager, plant manager, and Plant Operations
Review Committee (PORC) also approved the test results. The NRC
inspector identified the error during a test results verification.
II Houston Liehtine & Power Position
Houston Lighting & Power does not contest the violatius.
III Reason for Violation
The violation occurred as a result of personnel error during the conduct
of the test and inadequate review during the post test review and
approval phase.
The personnel who were conducting the Asethermal temperature coefficient
measurements are degreed nuclear engineers, certified Test Directort,
and are licensed Senior Reactor Operators. .he two indt?iduals measured
the isothermal temperature coef ficient at three dif ferent control rod
j positions using data frem a cooldovn and heatup. The ITC was determined
correctly 5 out of 6 times indicating that the procedure was followed
and that the procedure was not in error. These personnel worked as a
team during the conduct of !he test and determined the rea:tivity change
and temperature change frem the x-y plot together rather than taking the
time to make totally independent calculations.

III Reason for Violatien (Cont.d) . ;
,
The review process of Initial Startup Tests results includes reviews by
the Test Director, the Shif t Test Director, the Reactor Performance
Supervisor, the Reactor Support Manager, the Plant Engineering Manager, '
the Plant Operations Review Cc=mit. tee, and the Plant hanager. This
review chain is in addition to other independent second reviews that
take place during the performance of a test, as required by the test
procedure. The Test Director and the Shift Test Director review the
Test Packages primaril/ for technical adequacy, however, compliance
with progra==atic requirements is verified prior to submittal for
approval. After the Test Packages are raleased by the Shift Test ,
Director to the Reactor Performance Supervisor, subsequent reviews are
primarily for compliance with programmatic requirements and verificatica
that Acceptance Criteria are met. The Reactor Performance Supervisor 6
and the Reactor Support Manager do, however, review the Test Package for
technical adequacy, but not in the same detail as what is performed
.
during test conduct and Test Package preparation. The Plant Operations ;
Review Committee and the Plant Manager review the ecmpleted Test Package
to verify that all acceptance criteria vere met. During the above
process none of the reviewers rechecked the x-y plot to ensure that the
.
values used in the calculation were correct.
!
'
IV Corrective Actions Taken and Results Achieved
A. Test Packages required for the Initial Criticality and Lov Power 1
Physics Test Plateaus have be'n reviewed for technical and
administrative compliance. As a result of this review, one
!
additional calculational error was identified and corrected. The
test package in error was for procedure IVEPO4-ZX-0003, Boron
,
Endpoint Determination. The error involved the Boren Endpoint for
.
the all control rods inserted configurationi the corrected endpoint
i was 624.2 ppm instead of the 624.4 ppm previously recorded. Please l
note that there are no acceptance criteria for this particular
[ procedure. '
,
'
B. In addition, a review of Cold and Hot Preeritical Test Packages was f
performed. Two additional calculational errors were discovered, ;
neither ci which affected the oatecce of the affected tests. These
! packages vill be corrected prior to the completio5 of the ?sitial *
Startup Test Program.

I Stateraent of Violation .
The TS Section 6.0 (Administrative Controls), Specification 6.8.1,
requires tnat procedures shall be established, implemented, and
. . maintained for plant operations.
Plant Procedure OPGP03-ZO-0001, Revision 7. "Equipment Clearance,"
describes the requirements for controlling system boundaries and the
logging of components within these boundaries. Step 3.1.3.b (sic)
requires that all valves inside the boundary shall be listed on the
clearance and shall be returned to tneir required operating position
prior to releasing boundary valves.
Contrary to the above, Plant Procedure CPGP03-ZO-0001, Revision 7, was
not followeu in that boundaries were not correctly controlled and the
associated valve within the boundaries were not properly listed en the
clearance as required in Step 5.1.3.b of the procedure. Specifically
drain valve LV-002L (sic) and LU-0119 vere opened af ter the boundary was
established: however they were not returned to their required operating
position prior to releasing the boundary valves. These failures to
follow procedures resulted in approximately 1000 gallons of lubricating
oil for the No. 13 Emergency Diesel Generator being pumped f rom the lube
oil sump onto the floor of the diesel generator building. *
