ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, 50-287 Oconee License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, DPR-55 During an NRC inspection conducted on April 19-23, 1993, 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:
Technical Specification 6.4.6 required the licensee to implement a program conforming with 10 CFR 50.36(a) for the control of radioactive effluents and for maintaining the doses to members of the public from radioactive effluents as low as reasonably achievable. The program was.
required (1) to be contained in Chapter 16 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), (2) to be implemented by operating procedures, and (3) to include remedial actions to be taken whenever the program limits were exceeded. The licensee's procedure for performing daily surveillances in the control room to verify effluent instrumentation operability (PT/2/A/600/01 "Periodic Instrument Surveillance") specified the "required condition" for the Unit.2 ventilation system radiation monitor (2-RIA-45) as "indicating on scale."
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow the control room daily surveillance procedure on March 12-14, 1993. On those dates the licensee indicated on the control room surveillance logs that the Unit 2 ventilation system radiation monitor met the "required condition," as specified in the procedure, of being "on scale," which signified that the monitor was operable. The monitor was, in fact, inoperable on those dates and indicated a zero count rate.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
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, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).

If an adequate reply-is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or Demand for 9306020115 930521 PDR ADOCK 05000269 GPDR
