NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 Oconee 1, 2 and 3 License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 30 - September 9, 1995, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy)

(60 FR 34381, June 30, 1995), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.4.1 requires that the station be operated and maintained in accordance with approved procedure Oconee Nuclear Site Directive 1.3.2, Activities Affecting Station Operation, states that all personnel performing functions which may affect unit or station operation, or control room indications shall notify the control room operator before initiating such action. When it is desired to remove an instrument or component from service or return it to service, permission must be obtained from the Unit Supervisor prior to removing the instrument or component from service or returning it to servic Oconee Nuclear Site Directive 500.4, Safety Tags-Red Safety Tags, requires that the work group supervisor/designee verify the correct device is or has been positioned or operated by ensuring the equipment entry on the tag and the equipment identification label match. Implicit in this requirement is control over the equipment/device to which the tag is attache Contrary to the above: On June 25, 1995, the feeder breaker for Unit 2 Low Pressure Injection Valve 2LP-2 was inadvertently opened during testing of 3LP-2 and was reclosed without notifying the control room operato.

On June 20, 1995, Low Pressure Service Water valves 3LPSW-337 and 3LPSW-342 were found in the open position despite attached red safety tags which indicated the required position for the valves was close.

On June 21, 1995, Unit 3 feedwater valves 3FDW-141, 142, 143, and 144 were removed from the system with the red safety tags attache Enclosure 1 9510180349 951013 PDR ADOCK 05000269 GD

Notice of Violation 2 On July 16, 1995, the 3B2 Reactor Coolant Pump lower bearing oil cooler Low Pressure Service Water inlet and outlet valves (3LPSW 106 and 3LPSW-236) were found to be throttled instead of in the full open position as required by Operating Procedure OP/3/A/1104/10, Low Pressure Service Wate.

On August 1, 1995, Red Safety Tag (OPS-95-2209-4) was hung on

"Feeder Bkr for MCC XOD3-1" and should have been on "XOD3 Alt Incoming FDR Bkr." On August 30, 1995, NRC inspectors observed the position of Keowee sliding link R95 to be closed while the attached configuration control tag indicated the link should be open. Licensee personnel subsequently opened the link in the belief that the tag was correct; however, the required position of link R95 was closed per controlling Procedure TN/5/A/2966/BL1/0 This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
