NOTICE OF VIOLATION Based on the results of an NRC inspe.; tion conducted during the period of May 1-31, 1935, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10CFR Part 2,. Appendix C), 49 FR 858?, dated March 8, 1984, the following violations were identified:
1.
Fire Doors left Open Technical Specification 3.7.11 states, "All penetration fire barriers protecting-safety related areas shall be functional."
Contrary to the above, on May 28, 1985, the NRC inspector found Fire Door 213 to be ajar at 3:30 p.m. and at 3:35 p.m. and Fire Door 235 to be ajar at 2:30 p.m. and at 3:00 p.m.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I.D.) (368/8513-01)
Response
As a result of the NRC Inspectors finding relating to open fire doors, Managers were instructed to inform their departments that each individual is responsible for ensuring that a fire door closes when ne/she passes through it.
An engineering evaluation of the closure mechanisms installed on these and other selected doors was conducted.
This resulted in modifications which replaced the closure mechanisms on Doors 213 and 235.
These efforts resulted in compliance on July 8, 1985.
2.
Inadequate Emergency and Abnormal Procedure Reviews by Licensed Operators Appendix A of 10CFR Part 55, requires that each licensed operator and senior operator review the contents of all abnormal and errergency procedures on a regularly scheduled basis.
Training Administration Procedure 1063.08, " Operations Training Program," has been established to implement the requirements of 10CFR Part 55, Appendix A.
Procedure 1063.08 requires licensed operators to review the abnormal and emergency operating procedures not less than twice each year.
Contrary to the above, three abnormal and emergency procedures have not been reviewed twice each year by the Unit 2 licensed operators since the procedures were issued.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement I.D.) (368/8513-03)
' Response The cause of the operators' failure to review the procedures as required was that these specific procedures were not included on the procedure review sheets issued by the Training Department.
The review sheets were immediately revised to include the these procedures.
The review sheets were subsequently. removed from the general training. file and placed under the control of the Operator' Licensing Clerk.
In addition, the Operator Training Supervisors have been instructed to verify that the review sheets are current prior to issuance.
Although these three procedures were not on the procedure review sheet, the Unit 2 operators have reviewed or received training on the
-procedures in the past.
The training cycle which includes these
-procedure reviews will be completed by the end of September such that full compliance will be achieved.
