NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson Unit 2 License No. DPR-23 During an NRC inspection conducted from March 29, 1998 through May 9, 1998. a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification (TS) SR 3.6.2.1, Containment Systems and TS 5.5.16.
Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, requires that air lock leakage rate testing be performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50. Appendix J, Option A.
10 CFR 50. Appendix J, Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing For Water Cooled Power Reactors, requires that air locks opened during periods when containment integrity is required by TS shall be tested within three days after being opened. For air lock doors opened more frequently than once every three days, the air lock shall be tested at least once every three days during the periods of frequent opening.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to conduct an air lock test on April 13, 1998. At this time, the air lock was required to be tested every three days, and the last test had been successfully completed on April 10, 1998.
