APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Public Power District Docket:
50-285/82-03 Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station License No. DPR-40 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of February 1-28, 1982, aqd in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy 45 FR 66754 (October 7,19P0), the following violation was identified:
Failure to Provide Adequate Instructions and Procedures Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that, " written procedures...
be established, implemented, and maintained that meet or exceed the minimum requiremer.ts of Sections 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972, and Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33...."
Section 5.1 of ANSI N18.7-1972 states that the licensee, " establish rules and instructions pertaining to personnel conduct and control...
(and) method of conducting operations...," and that, " guidance should be provided to identify the manner in which procedures are to be imple-mented."
a.
Section 5.3.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972 requires that instructions be provided, "for energizing, filling, venting, draining, starting up, shutting down, changing modes of operation, and other instructions appropriate for operations of systems related to the safety of the plant...."
Contrary to the above, the licensee's instructions and procedures failed to adequately address the circumstances of February 3,1982, in that two separate system evolutions (sampling of the Volume Control Tank gas space and draining of the vent header) in combination allowed radioactive gas to enter a system vented to atmosphere, causing an un-planned off-site release.
b.
Section 8b of Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33 states that,
" specific procedures for surveillance tests, inspections, and cali-brations should be written (implementing procedures are required for each surveillance test, inspection or calibtation listed in the Tech-nical Specifications)." Standing Order G-23 establishes the Surveil-lance Test Program which requires that, " safety-related equipment be tested on a periodic basis to verify its operational readiness to per-form its design function."
Contrary to the above, Surveillance Test ST-ISI-CC-1, Section F.3 failed to ensure that Relief Valve AC-341 was properly returned to ser-vice af ter a bench test of the relief set point on October 28, 1981, B204000379 820318 PDR ADOCK 05000285 G

in that the gag plug was missing, allowing radioactive waste gas to escape from the vent header in an unplanned release into the Auxiliary Building.
This_is a Severity Level IV violation.
