In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:
10 CFR 50.59; "Changes, Tests,'and Experiments," requires, in.part, that the licensee shall maintain records of changes in the facilityas described in the Safety Analysis Report.-These records must include a written safety evaluation which provides the basis for the determination that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
\\
Contrary to the above, on November 16, 1997, the inspectors identified a failure to maintain records which contained a written safety evaluation for three control room annunciators.
The three annuciators were physically or electronically blocked, preventing them from operating, constituting a change to the facilityas described in Chapters 7.5 and 10.3 of the Safety Analysis Report.
This is a Severity Level IVviolation (Supplement I).

requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Contrary to the above, on December 18, 1997, the inspectors identified that a procedure of a type appropriate to the circumstances did not exist for an activity affecting quality, the manual backwashing of the ESW pump discharge strainers, a support system necessaiy to ensure ESW system operability.
This is a Severity Level IVviolation (Supplement I).
