RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/85-31 and 50-281/85-31 VIOLATION Technical Specification 6.4.A.2 and D states, in part, that detailed written procedures with appropriate checkoff lists and instructions shall be.provided. for the following conditions:
calibration and testing of instruments, components, and systems involving nuclear safety of the station; and that these procedures shall be followed.
Administl!ative Procedure-84, Control of Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE), Section 4. 3 and 4. 4, states, in part, that
- each supervisor responsible for one or more of the devices in the M&TE Calibration Program shall: be responsible for ensuring that the devices under his control are calibrated at the frequency established
- in the measuring and test equipment form. Additionally, the Instrument Supervisor or the supervisor of the individual performing the calibration shall maintain a maintenance history record for each device in the M&TE Calibration Program that is under the direct administrative control of the power station.
This history record shall contain, among other information, the calibration date, the next calibration due date, and whether the device rnquired adjustment.
This information is necessary to determir.. e the adequacy of the calibration frequency assigned to that device.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to properly document monthly calibration checks on M&TE SQC-187, WWVB Receiver Oscillator, which is the National Bureau of Standards reference for Calibrating M&TE used on safety-related components.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).
RESPONSE
(1) ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION The violation is correct as stated.
(2)
REASONS FOR VIOLATION The WWVB Receiver is highly visible in the CAL-LAB and checks were made almost daily to verify that the instrument was in good operating order.
These operational checks were not formally documented.
\\,
(3)
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED As suggested by the manufacturer's technical manual, monthly checks shall.be made and documented to maintain calibration traceability of the WWVB receiver to the standard produced by the National Bureau of Standards.
Calibration Technicians have been instructed to perform and document on the Instrument History Sheet, the checks outlined in the manufacturer's technical manual page 3-2.
(4)
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL-BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS No further corrective action is required.
(5)
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED Full compliance was achieved on October 17, 1985.
