ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos. 50-269, 270, 287 Oconee Nuclear Station License Nos.:
DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 During an NRC examination conducted on March 7-10, 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, Appendix B, Criterion VI, states that measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents such as instructions procedures, and drawings including changes thereto, which prescribe all activities affecting quality. These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are reviewed for adequacy and approved for release by authorized personnel.
Operations Management Procedure (OMP) 1-1, "Administration of Operations Management Procedures," states that a Qualified Reviewer in Operations shall review all new procedures and revisions. Enclosure 8.1, "OMP Periodic Review Checklist," states that the Qualified Reviewer shall verify that the new or revised OMP does not conflict with other OMPs.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to.verify that a change to OMP 2-1 "Duties and Responsibilities of On Shift Operations Personnel,"
concerning the approval needed for non-procedural bypassing of a Safety System, did not conflict with other OMPs. On June 1, 1993, the licensee changed OMP 2-1, so that step 2.3 of Enclosure 4.11, "Guidelines for Bypassing of Safety Systems," allowed a Safety System to be bypassed without specific procedure guidance under direction of the Control Room SRO or Unit Supervisor. Step 4.10 of OMP 1-2, "Rules of Practice,"
required approval from two licensed personnel, one of whom is a supervisor who holds an SRO license. The procedure conflict existed from June 1, 1993 until March 16, 1994.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I.D)
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 facility that is the subject of this Notice of Violation (Notice), within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this 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. If an adequate reply is not 9404130061 940407 PDR ADOCK 05000269 PDR
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.
Dated at Atlanta, Georgia this 7 day of April 1994
