NOTICE OF VIOLATION Wisconsin Electric Power Company Docket Nos. 50 266; 50-301 Point Beach Nuclear Plant License Nos. DPR 24; DPR 27 During an NRC inspection conducted from October 21 through November 30,1997, three violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with NUREG 1600, " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions? the violations are listed below: CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, " Test Control / requires, in part, that tests be performed, with satisfactory results, to demonstrate that safety related systems will satisfy their design basis function Contrary to the above, as of November 30,1997, satisfactory test results had not been obtained to demonstrate the ability of the safety-related component cooling water system to perform its design basis function This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I). CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, ' Corrective Action," requires, in part, that conditions adverse to quality, such as nonconformances, be promptly identified and correcte Technical Specification 15.3.3C requires, in part, that the safety-related component cooling water system be operable when a unit is made critical or is at powe Between December 1996 and November 25,1997, condition reports96-416, 97-1863,97 3754, and 97 3901 documented nonconformances in the testing and test results for the safety related component cooling water system. Specified corrective actions included performance of operability determinations to justify component cooling water system operability to allow making a unit critical or maintaining a unit at powe Contrary to the above, as of November 25,1997, the four operability determinations prepared as corrective actions for the testing nonconformances documented in condition reports96-416,971863,97 3754, and 97 3901 failed to justify the operability of the safety-related component cooling water system. Units were made critical and/or were maintained at power during this perio This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1). Technical Specification 15.3.6.A.d.2 states that required actions be performed if the containment air lock door interlock mechanism is inopcrable, including: (a) verify an operable door is closed in the affected air lock within one hour, and (b) lock an operable door closed in the affected air lock within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and (c) verify an operable door is locked and closed in the affected air lock once per 31 day Contrary to the above, between December 28,1996, and February 18,1997, the Unit i upper containment interlock mechanism had been rendered inoperable and the required actions listed above were not performe This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
