Our response to the violations
described
in the Notice of Violation
is provided in Attachment
1. Your letter expressed
concern over the material condition
of the process monitoring
instrumentation.
You requested
that we address our program to assure that process monitoring
equipment
is maintained
operable and outline specific actions being taken to return inoperable
process instrumentation
to service in an expeditious
manner.* -Operability
of the process monitoring
instrumentation
is demonstrated
periodically
through the station's
surveillance
and testing program. If a component
is found to be inoperable, alternative
measures are employed to monitor the parameter
in accordance
with Technical
Specifications
and a.station
deviation
is submitted.
On December 21, 1989, a station deviation
trending report was submitted
to the Chairman of the Station Nuclear Safety Operating
Committee (SNSOC), which discussed
recurring
problems with process radiation
monitors.
To more fully address these issues, the SNSOC established
a subcommittee
composed of senior technical
staff members. The subcommittee
has been tasked to review process radiation
monitoring
operations
data sources, including
equipment
operability
history, and to submit a report on its findings by February 28, 1990. 6ased on this report, SNSOC will assign further actions as appropriate.
We are keeping the NRC Resident Inspectors
informed of the progress and results of this review. The project to replace and return _the component
cooling water (CCW) heat exchanger

ON OCTOBER 29 -NOVtMBER 25, 1989 INSPECTION
REPORT NOS. 50-280/89-34
AND 50-281/89-34
During the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) inspection
conducted
on October 29 -November 25, 1989, violations
of NRC requirements
were identified.
In accordance
with the '.'General
Statement
of Policy and Procedure
for NRC Enforcement
Actions, 11 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C ( 1989), the violations
are listed below: * A. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteriori
V, requires that activities
affecting
quality shall be prescribed
by documented
instructions
or procedures
appropriate
to the circumstances.
Contrary to the above, activities
affecting
quality were not prescribed
by adequate instructions
and/or procedures, in that: 1. Operating
Procedure, 2-0P-1.3, Unit Startup Operation
(350/450 to HSD), Revision dated June 14, 1989, did not adequately
caution the operators
to maintain specific pressure control prior to testing reactor coolant system accumulator
discharge
valves. On November 21, 1989, during Unit 2 startu~, operators
allowed the reactor coolant system pressure to eiceed 1000 psig, prior to cipening and de-energizing
the accumulator
discharge
isolation
valve motor operators, a violation
of Technical . Specification
3.3.A.10.
2. On November 13, 1989, a resin waste transfer evolution
was conducted
without adequate*
procedure
control resulting
in three licensee employees
being contaminated
when a pipe cap was removed from a pressurized
system; 3. On approximately
October 25, 1989, the Unit 2 flood control dikes, which protect against flooding of the service water supply motor control valves to the recirculation
spray heat exchangers, were removed with inadequate
modification
and operation
procedure

material, parts, and components.
1 of 11
- * Contrary to . the above, adequate measures were not established
to prevent incorrect
gaskets from being installed
in components
in that: 1. Work Order 87218, dated October 28, 1989, identified
that an incorrect
gasket had been installed
in. safety injection
check valve 2""'.SI-79
during the previous outage. This condition
had contributed
to a failure of the valve,to properly seat during subsequent
unit operation.
2. Inspection
of safety injection

with Engineering
Work -Request 89-6848, dated November 3, 1989, indicated
that an incorrect
gasket had been installed
during the previous outage. 3. After interim corrective
action was conducted
for examples 1 and 2 above on November 1, 1989, incorrect
gaskets were installed
in a Unit 2 pressurizer
safety valve on November 14, 1989, and subsequent
review revealed potential
incorrect
gaskets in the Unit 1 pressurizer
safety valves. This violation
has been categorized
as a Severity Level IV violation

V, requires that activities
affecting
quality shall be prescribed
by documented
instructions
or procedures
appropriate
to the circumstances
.. Contrary to the above, activities
affecting
quality were not prescribed
by adequate instructions
and/or procedures, in that: 1. Operating
procedure, 2-0P-1.3, Unit Startup Operation
(350/450 to HSD), Revision dated June 14, 1989, did not adequately
caution the operators
to maintain specific pressure control prior to testing reactor coolant system accumulator
discharge
valves. On November 21, 1989, during Unit 2 startup, operators
allowed the reactor coolant system pressure to exceed 1000 psig, prior to opening and de-energizing
the accumulator
discharge
isolation
valve motor operators, a violation
of Technical*
Specification
3.3.A.10.
(1) ADMISSION
OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:
The violation
is correct as stated. (2) REASON FOR VIOLATION
Upon completion
of OP-7.1.1 (Leak Testing Accumulator
Check Valves), the electricians
were directed.to
reinstall
the seal-in contacts for the motor operated accumulator
discharge
valves. While waiting fof this step to be completed, the operations
shift reviewed the procedure
and decided to begin fncreasing
RCS pressure.
The shift had noted the 11 caution 11 prior to step 5.43. of 2-0P-1.3 which reads, 11 RCS pressure must remain less than 2000 psig until Step 5.62 is satisfied 11 , and intended to be just below 2000 psig when arriving at step 5.62. However, when the operator closed the accumulator
MOV in accordance
with step 5.41, he realized that the RCS should have been maintained
at less than 1000 psig to perform 2-PT-18.5 (Flushing
of Sensitized
Stainless
Steel Piping -Emergency
Borate and Acc~mulator
MOV Cycling).
- It is important
to note that it has been our interpretation
of Technical
Specification
3.3.A.10 that the basis for the requirement (RCS pressure greater than 1000 psig when placing the accumulators
in servjce and de-energizing
the associated
discharge
MOVs) was to provide sufficient
differential
between RCS and accumulator
pressures
to avoid spurious injections
- . It is from this perspective
that no violation
of Technical
Specifications
was initially
considered
to have occurred as a result of this event. The event investigation
focused on the violation
of Operating
Procedure
2-0P-1.3 when RCS pressure exceeded 1000 psig prior to completion
of 2-PT-18.5.
(3) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH 'HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:
The accumulator
discharge
valves were opened and their circuit breakers opened. RCS pressure was controlled
per* 2-0P-1.3 and 2-PT-18.5
was * performed
satisfactorily.
The unit SRO and the unit RO were disciplined.

- * ,* ' (4) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS:
The steps in 2-0P-1.3 which are associated
with the accumulator
check valve test are being evaluated
for inclusion
in OP-7.1.1.
The 11 caution 11 prior to step 5.31 of the existing OP-1.3 which -reads, 11 RCS pressure.
must not exceed 1000 psig unti-1 PT-18.5 is complete (Step 5.42). will be strengthened
and added to OP-7.1.1.
Technical
Specification
3.3.A.10 will be reviewed for potential
clarification
of both the specification
and bases. (5) THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE
WILL BE ACHIEVED:
Full compliance
will be achieved on June 30, 1990 when the procedures
are modified as described

REPORT NOS. 50-280/89-34
AND 50-281/89-34
10CFR50, Appendix 8, Criterion
V, requires that activities
affecting
quality shall be prescribed
by documented
instructions
or procedures
appropriate
to the circumstances.
Contrary to the above, activities
affecting
quality were not prescribed
by adequate instructions
and/or procedures, in that: 2. On November 13, 1989, a resin waste transfer evolution
was conducted
without adequate procedure
control resulting
in three licensee employees
being contaminated
when a pipe cap was removed from a pressurized
system. (1) ADMISSION
OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:
The violation
is correct as stated. (2) REASON FOR VIOLATION:
The event occurred*
due to pressure in a iection of the resin transfer header piping. An inservice
leak test was performed
on the header line on October 16, 1989. The procedure
used is typically
performed
on piping as part of the Inservice
Testing (IST) Program.*
Following
the use of this procedure~
the tested piping is returned to service and no instructions
are provided for depressurization
of the piping. However, the* resin header line was not returned to service and the line could not be drained because decontamination
support had not been provided.
There was no documentation
that the line was left in a pressurized
condition, and this information
was not provided to the appropriate
supervisor.
In addition, seat leakage on diaphragm
valves on the upstream system piping may have contributed
to the pressure in the header. On November 13, 1989, while making final hose connections
in preparation
for transferring
resin from the resin waste header to the receiving
vessel, it was necessary
to remove a cam-lock cap. The cam-lock fitting did not hav~ an upstream isolation
valve at the fitting which could be usJd for isolation
while the hose connections
were being made. The operators
began the removal of the cam-lock fitting by opening one of the* dog-ear connectors.*
The cap was manipulated
in an attempt to relieve any pressure on the 1 i ne. When rio water was observed, .* the remaining*
connector
was opened and the cap blew off spraying the employees
with contaminated
water. The resin transfer procedure
did not provide instructions
or cautions on the correct operation
of the cam-lock fitting. In addition, the procedure
did not provide an appropriate
level of detail for certain portions of the waste transfer process. * (3) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:
In accordance
with station practice, the individuals
involved prepared a report of the event and presented
it to station management.
5 of 11
- * An additional
instruction
page for the operation
of cam-lock type fittings was developed.
This attachment
will be used with evolutions
utilizing
cam-lock fittings, until permanent
procedure
changes can be completed.
The resin transfer header has been modified to provide an isolation
valve upstream at the cam~lock fitting. Resin transfer activities
were suspended
and no resin transfer activities
will occur pending station safety committee (SNSOC) approval of a procedure
providing
the additional
detailed steps for the evolutions
involved in the* transfer process. (4) .CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS:
A revision is being made to the procedure
for resin transfers
to provide more detailed instructions
for the evolutions
in the resin transfer process including
instructions
for cam-lock fittings.
A list of procedures
that involve equipment
using cam-lock fittings is being developed.
These procedures
will be revised to include appropriate
cautions.
Since the lack of an appropriate
inservice
leak testing procedure
may have contributed
to the event, an additional
testing procedure
for inser~ice
leak testing will be developed
to include instructions
for d~pressurization
of the tested piping if it is not placed in service following
the test. (5) THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE
WILL BE ACHIEVED:
Resin transfers
may resume when a revised procedure
is approved by the SNSOC. The procedure
rev1s1ons
covering the use of cam-lock fittings and the development
of a procedure
for inservice
leak testing will be completed
by June 30, 1990. Full compliance
will be achieved on June 30, 1990. -During review of this event and a subsequent
event in January involving
instrument
air to this system, weaknesses
were identified
in the configuration
control and modification
turnover processes.
Although not a direct contributor
to the above violation, these weaknesses
are being reviewed and applicable

by adequate instructions
and/or procedures, in that: -* 3. On approximately
October 25, 1989, the Unit* 2 flood control dikes, which protect against flooding of the service water supply motor control valves to the recirculation
spray heat exchangers, were removed with inadequate
modification
and operation
procedure
control resulting
in heatup of the unit above 350° F, on November 6 and 20, 1989, with inoperable
recirculation
spray systems, a violation
of Technical
Specification
3.4. (1) ADMISSION
0~ DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:
The violation
is correct as stated. (2) REASON FOR VIOLATION:
A Design Change was being implemented
to replace portions of the Service Water piping* and to i_nstall new 8 11 service water supply lines. A portion of the buried piping was routed just north of the service water valve pit containing
the service water supply valves. (2-SW-MOV-203A-D)
to the recirculation
spray heat exchangers.
The original design and safety analysis had been prepared anticipating
that the missile protection
cover plates could be installed
without affecting
the dikes around the SW valve pit. However, the dikes created an interference
when installing
the plates, and a Field Change was issued revising the installation
drawing to permit temporary
removal and replacement
of the dike wall 11 as required 11* * UFSAR Appendix 9C on the flood control system was not* complete in its description
of the flood protection
barriers, nor were the dikes physically
labeled in the field to identify them as components
of the flood _control system. As a result~ the flood protection
significance
of the dike components
was overlooked, and the field change did not provide procedural
steps to control this activity nor to limit the period during which the dike wall was removed. (3) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED: (a) The dikes were reinstalled
on the same day the condition
was identified. (b) The station flood protection
dikes throughout

REPORT NOS. 50-280/89-34
AND 50-281/89-34
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion
VIII, requires that measures.and
controls . shall be established
to prevent the use of incorrect
or defective
material, parts,* and components.
Contrary to the above, adequate measures were not established
to .Prevent incorrect
gaskets from being installed
in components
in that: 1. Work Order 87218, dated October 28, 1989, identified
that an incorrect
gasket had been installed
in safety injection
check valve 2-Sl-79 during the previous outage. This condition
had contributed
to a failure of the valve to properly seat during subsequent
unit operation.
2. Inspection
of safety injection
check valve 2-SI..;.91
in accordance
with * Engineering
Work Request 89-684B, dated November 3, 1989, indicated
that an incorrect
gasket had been installed
during the previous outage. 3. After interim corrective
action was conducted
for examples 1 and 2 above on November 1, 1989, incorrect
gaskets were installed
in a Unit 2 pressurizer
safety valve on November 14, 1989, and subsequent
review revealed potential
incorrect
gaskets in the Unit 1 pressurizer
safety valves. (1) ADMISSION
OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:
The violation
is correct as stated. (2) REASON FOR VIOLATION:
Inaccuracies
existed in certain aspects of model work orders in the area of parts and associated
stock numbers required to perform the task. The model work orders were not subject to a formal control program and verification
of the parts listed on the model work order were not performed
by planning or maintenance
personnel.
This omission resulted in incorrect
gaskets being installed
in two (2) safety injection
check valves (2-SI-79/2-SI-91)
when model work order parts listings were used. Another incident occurred whereby wrong gasket material was installed
on a Unit 2 pressurizer
safety valve due to the same inadequacie~.
- (3) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:
Upon initi,ll discovery
of wrong material installation
on certain safety related* components, an investigation
was performed
within the maintenance
department.
The problem was determined
to be inadequate
parts verification
prior to .job implementation.
The information
concerning
parts listed on the model work order was being incorrectly
assumed as being correct. Once this problem was identified, an interim verification
of parts for safety related work was established.
The corrective
steps taken by the Maintenance
Department
were as follows: a. Oeve l opment of an "Engineering
Parts Validation
Program" which established
the process whereby engineering
personnel
ensure that 9 of 11
~. b. correct parts/components (with regard to technical
data and materials)
are installed
in the respective
system per design and licensing
requirements.
This program applies to safety related and non-safety
related * (with special regulatory
significance)
work orders. Implementation
of this 11 Validation
Program 11 was effective
on November 1, 1989. The Maintenance
Engineering
Department
currently
performs this function.
Since _the implementation
of the parts validation
process, there was the one instance referenced
in the violation
where the Maintenance
Department
inadvertently
installed
wrong gaskets in a Unit 2 pressurizer
safety valve. At that time,. the validation
process was still in the initial stages, and it is felt that the incident was an isolated case. The validation
process of parts verification
now is very closely controlled.
Since the incorrect
gasket installation
on November 14, 1989, there have been no identified
cases of incorrect
parts usage. (4) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS:
Concerning
the Unit 1 Pressurizer
Safety Valves and the possibility
of incorrect
gasket material being installed, the safety significance
of this configuration
has been evaluated
and determined
to be acceptable
for continued
operation.
Work requests will be submitted
to remove valves and inspect/replace
gaskets as necessary
to ensure the c-orrect gasket type is installed.
This replacement
of gaskets will be performed
at the next refueling
outage. (5) THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE
WILL BE ACHIEVED:
Full compliance
with regard to programmatic
changes for parts validation
measures was achieved on November 15, 1989, although the pressurizer
safety * valve gasket concern on Unit 1 will be resolved during the upcoming refueling
outage. 10 of 11

OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION:
The violation
is correct ~s stated. (2) REASON FOR VIOLATION:
The cause of the event was personnel
error. The turbine building operator log requires sampling once per eight hour shift. The previous sample had been obtained early in the shift, and the liquid waste control room operator did not effectively
communicate
to the turbine building operator when the next sample would be required .. (3) CORRECTIVE
STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:
The event was reviewed with the turbine building and liquid waste operators.
The liquid waste operator was disciplined.
