ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power & Light Co.

Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson Nuclear Plant License No. DPR-23 During an NRC inspection conducted on September 12-16, 1994, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50.63, Loss of All Alternating Current Power, requires that the time required for startup and alignment of the alternate AC (AAC) power source and Station Blackout (SBO) equipment be demonstrated by a test.

The licensee's Final Safety Analysis Report, Amendment 12, Section 1.8, conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides (RG), states that the licensee will comply with the intent of RG 1.155. Regulatory Guide 1.155, Station Blackout, Appendix A, Section 5, Testing and Test Control, requires that tests to demonstrate conformance to design and readiness requirements be performed in accordance with written test procedures.

Contrary to the above, the licensee's testing-performed on December 11, 1992 to demonstrate the time required for startup and alignment of the AAC power source, and documented in a memorandum from D. B. Blakeney to File, date February 1, 1993, was inadequate in that, a) the test activity did not establish the actual SBO configuration of the equipment, and b) the test activity was not accomplished in accordance with written test procedures.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power & Light Co. is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, 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 or Demand for Information may be issued as to 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.
