NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florica Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River Unit 3 License No. DPR-72 i During NRC inspections conducted on March 30 through May 3. 1997, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General  ;

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions." NUREG 1600. l the violations are listed below:  !

A. Technical S]ecification (TS) 5.6.1.1. requires that written procedures l be establisled, implemented, and maintained for the activitles recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 Quality Assurance  !

Program Requirements. Revision 2. February 1978. This includes procedures required for the tagging and control of plant equipment.

Compliance Procedure (CP) 115. Nuclear Plant Tags and Tagging Orders.  !

Revision 74. Sections 4.10.36 and 37, requires, in part, that the  ;

individual who removes a tag from a device after clearance release and  !

the individual who performs the verification of tag removal must initial i and date spaces 36 and 37 respectively on the tagging form. Section 4.3.1 requires that all tagged components listed on a tagging order must be verified in their correct position. Sections 4.10.30 and 31 require  !

the individual who positions and tags the device and the individual who l performs the verification of the positioning and tagging to initial and date spaces 30 and 31 respectively. Section 4.1.4 requires Operations personnel to normally execute all tagging orders unless a specific exemption is granted. Section 3.1.8 defines a clearance as a tagging order issued for the performance of maintenance utilizing red tags on all boundary valves necessary to provide positive assurance a system or component has been properly isolated or vented.

Contrary to the above, in the following examples. the licensee failed to i accomplish activities affecting quality in accordance with procedures:

l

1. On March 27. 1997, red tags from released Electronic Clearance Order (ECO) 96-012-98 were found on the 4160 volt breaker cubicles for the A and B makeup pumps. On January 17. 1997. ECO 96-012-98 was authorized for removal and both tags were signed and ,

independently verified as removed in spaces 36 and 37 of the i tagging form. '

2. On April 3, 1997. Electronic Clearance Order 97-03-189 authorized i fuel handling crane (FHCR) 7 to be tagged for preventive maintenance. The tag to be hung on the local disconnect switch ,

labelled "FHCR-7 MAIN DISC" was incorrectly hung on the disconnect  !

switch for the spent fuel pool gate hoist labelled "SFHT - 3 TON YALE MONORAIL HOIST." Spaces 30 and 31 were initialed and dated indicating the tag was hung on FHCR-7. l l

3. On' April 21, 1997, a maintenance foreman found a red tag from  !

electronic clearance order 97-04-114 labelled for Valve CHV-60 hung on Valve SWV-60, the cooling water inlet to control complex  !

compressor 18. The tag had been hung by an operator, verified by a second operator, and then verified again by a licensed Senior l Reactor Operator. Spaces 30 and 31 were initialed and dated +

indicating the tag was hung on SWV-60.

4. On April 12. 1997 a Shift Supervisor discovered a red tag for  :

electronic clearance order 97-03-164 hanging on an intact and 1 connected air supply line to the main turbine turning gear that I stated that the position of the air line was disconnected. The j airline had been reconnected by a maintenance crew without authorization. The same crew had earlier moved the red tag from i the turning gear motor, disconnected the air line and removed the j turning gear motor for maintenance. The original EC0 was also l inadequate since it recuired disconnecting an air line downstream i of an untagged solenoic valve without verifying the line was vented and the solenoid positively verified closed.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).

B. Technical S)ecification 5.6.1.1 requires that written 3rocedures shall be establisled, implemented, and maintained covering tie applicable 1 3rocedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Appendix A specifies that each safety related annunciator have its own written procedure containing the meaning of the annunciator and the source of the signal.

Contrary to the above. as of April 4.1997, the written procedure for annunciator SSF-Al-04-02. Inverter Trouble, did not contain the meaning of the annunciator nor the source of the signal in that alarm relay set point information was incorrect and the source of the signal was incorrect.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
