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 February 27-March 3, 1995, 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 CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part,

that applicable regulatory requirements are correctly translated into

specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions.

Technical Specification 4.4.1.2 specifies a Sensitive Leak Rate Limit

for the Penetration Pressurization System of 0.3Lp, i.e., 30% of the

allowable containment leakage, at which point repairs must be made.

This requirement is translated into the controlling procedure OMM-008,

Minimum Equipment List and Shift Relief, by Design Calculation 91-C

0005, which specifies a measured leak rate of 1.57 scfm as the measured

leak rate limit at which repairs must be made in order to comply with

Technical Specification 4.4.1.2.

Contrary to the above, when on June 16, 1994, a plant configuration

change was made to the Penetration Pressurization System which reduced

the allowable measured leakage to comply with Technical Specification 4.4.1.2, procedure OMM-008, Minimum Equipment List and Shift Relief, was

not corrected to specify the new leakage limit.

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. Your response may reference or

include previous docketed correspondence if the correspondence adequately

addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within
