ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson Nuclear Plant License No. DPR-23 During an NRC examination conducted on July 11-29, 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 50.54(i) states in part:
the licensee may not permit the manipulation of the controls of any facility by anyone who is not a licensed operator or senior operator as provided in part 55 of this chapter."
10 CFR 55.53(e) states in part:
"If a licensee has not been actively performing the functions of an operator or senior operator, the licensee may not resume activities authorized by a license issued under this part except as permitted by paragraph (f) of this section."
10 CFR 55.53(f)(2) states, in part, the requirements for activating an inactive license:
"The licensee has completed a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of shift functions under the direction of an operator or senior operator as appropriate and in the position to which the individual will be assigned. The 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> must have included a complete tour of the plant and all required shift turnover procedures."
Contrary to the above, on June 23, 1994, July 12, 1994, and April 22, 1994, the facility licensee failed to ensure that personnel operating the controls-of the.facilityhad properly reactivated their Part 55 license.
Three cases were identified in which the Part 55 license holder failed to make a complete tour of the plant under the direction of an active operator or-senior operator before the license was certified "active" by facility management.
Records of the three inactive license holder's activities during the 40 hour4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> reactivation period indicated that the three individuals conducted their tours without the direction of an active operator or senior operator with the result that vital equipment areas such as the Boron Injection Tank (BIT) room, Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) room, Vital 4160 volt switch gear room, control room Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and the Spent Fuel Pool were not toured by two of the three inactive license holders.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) 9409070065 940826 PDR ADOCK 05000261 V
