May 27, 2004 EN-04-034 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee:
Carolina Power and Light Company (EA-04-076)
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Docket Nos. 50-324
Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation associated with a White Significance Determination Process (SDP) finding will be issued on or around June 2, 2004, to Carolina Power and Light Company as a result of inspections at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. This White finding, an issue with low to moderate increased importance to safety, involved the failure to take adequate corrective action for conditions adverse to quality associated with the No. 3 emergency diesel generator (EDG 3) jacket water cooling (JWC) system. This corrective action failure resulted in EDG 3 being inoperable for a period in excess of the Technical Specifications (TS) allowed outage time. Specifically, excessive leakage occurred from the JWC system that resulted in an inoperable EDG from December 8, 2003, until it was corrected on January 7, 2004. In addition, the failure to implement corrective actions resulted in a violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action. Accordingly, a Notice of Violation associated with the White finding is being issued.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Final Significance Determination June 2, 2004 Telephone Notification of Licensee June 2, 2004 The State of North Carolina will be notified.
