NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power & Light Company Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson Unit 2 License No. DPR-23 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 26 through December 31, 1995, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure For NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:
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 calibrating safety-related equipment. Implicit in this requirement, is the requisite that the procedures be adequate for the circumstances.
Process Instrument Calibration Procedure, PIC-012, Accumulator Level Transmitters, was developed to calibrate the level transmitters associated with the Safety Injection Accumulators.
Contrary to the above, PIC-012 was inadequate, in that, it did not provide adequate instructions for ensuring that the Accumulator Level Transmitters were properly calibrated. Between June 14 and June 17, 1995, the B and C Accumulator Level Transmitters (LT-924, LT-926, LT-928, and LT-930) were mis-calibrated resulting in operation with indication approximately 6-7 percent below the actual level.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power & 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 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 the time specified in this Notice, an order or a 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.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, 9602120100 960126 PDR ADOCK 05000261 G
NOV 2
or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
