April 4, 2002 EN 02-012 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee:
Union Electric Company (SDP/EA-02-046)
Callaway Plant (Docket No. 50-483)
Subject:
ISSUANCE OF THE FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION FOR A WHITE FINDING AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation associated with a White Significance Determination Process (SDP) finding will be issued on or about April 9, 2002, to Union Electric Company. This White finding was the result of the staffs assessment of the significance of a condition that on multiple occasions the licensee failed to identify and correct a risk significant condition adverse to quality regarding the degraded condition of the condensate storage tank diaphragm seal. Foam from the degraded seal was eventually entrained in the auxiliary feedwater system suction piping and caused an on-demand failure of an auxiliary feedwater pump while the plant was operating at reduced power levels on December 3, 2001. This common mode failure condition resulted in a White finding under the Mitigation Systems Cornerstone in the Significance Determination Process.
It should be noted that the licensee has not yet been specifically informed of the enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Notice April 9, 2002 Telephone Notification of licensee April 9, 2002 The State of Missouri will be notified.
