NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 Oconee 1, 2, and 3 License Nos. DPR-38. DPR-47, and DPR-55 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 6 - November 16. 1996, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
NUREG 1600, the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.4.1.e requires that written procedures with appropriate check-off lists and instructions shall be provided for preventive or corrective maintenance which could affect nuclear safety or radiation exposure to personnel.
Contrary to the above, on August 7, 1996, it was identified that Oconee Level Calibration Procedure, IP/0/B/0202/001F, Letdown Storage Tank Level vs. Pressure Curve Limits, did not provide adequate instructions for calibrating the Letdown Storage Tank Level Instrumentation. The condition resulted in the incorrect calibration of Letdown Storage Tank Level instruments on all three units.
This is a Severity.Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, and the licensee's Quality.Assurance program (Duke-1-A, Section 17.3.2.13) require that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
Duke Power Nuclear System Directive 208, Problem Investigation Process (PIP), defines the process by which 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requirements are implemented at the nuclear stations. Section 208.6 requires that upon identification of a problem, an employee will initiate PIP. Appendix M of the directive provides a list of examples, one of which is "Drawings do not match as-built conditions."
Contrary to the above, measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected were not implemented in that:
- 1.
On September 12, 1996, Maintenance personnel identified that Unit 1 station drawing 0-504A did not match as-built conditions, but did not initiate a PIP.
- 2.
On September 9, 1996, Maintenance personnel identified that Unit 2 station drawing 0-2504B did not match as-built conditions, but did not initiate a PIP.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I),
applicable to Units 1 and 2 only.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201. Duke Power Company 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 Oconee Nuclear Plant, 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 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, 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.
Dated at Atlanta, Georgia this 4th day of December 1996
