ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket No.:
50-261 H. B. Robinson Unit 2 License No.: DPR-23 During the NRC inspection conducted on February 26 - March 26, 1994, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure For NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.5.1.1, Procedures, Tests, and Experiments, requires in part, that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained, covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, 1978, including procedures for operation of the reactor building ventilation and gaseous effluent monitoring systems.
Operating Procedure, OP-921, Containment Air Handling, requires that radiation monitor setpoints be properly established following the termination of a continuous containment vessel purge.
Contrary to the above, three radiation monitor setpoints were improperly established following the termination of a continuous containment vessel purge on March 14, 1994. As a result, a non-conservative setpoint existed for approximately 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> on radiation monitor R-14C, Plant Stack, Noble Gas Radiation Monitor.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires in part that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, defective material and equipment, are promptly identified and corrected including the measures to assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.
Contrary to the above;
- 1) On February 17, 1994, the licensee's corrective actions to repair the B emergency diesel generator air flapper valve were inadequate to assure that the cause of the condition was confirmed and to preclude recurrence. The air flapper valve attachment pin which had fallen out, was improperly re-secured. This led to extensive engine damage when the pin fell out again after only three starts and was ingested by the engine's blower.

- 2) The licensee failed to take adequate corrective action to a November 1, 1993, entry into a high radiation area by two maintenance technicians without a survey meter in that a similar event occurred on March 17, 1994.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending
--the response time.
