ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos.: 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 Oconee License Nos.: DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 10-14, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires activities affecting quality to be accomplished in accordance with procedures... ; USA Standard B31.7-69, Section B-1-130, requires that radiographs be examined and interpreted to assure compliance with code and the applicable radiographic procedure. This standard also requires that welds exhibiting unacceptable defects be repaired.
Radiographic procedure NDE-10, Rev. 18, paragraph 9.2, requires that when weld repairs are made, the repair number and the letter "R", appear on the radio graphic film and paragraph 19.1 requires that interpretation of radiographs shall include verification of compliance to all the requirements of the procedure..., and the evaluation of all discontinuities.
Contrary to the above, on May 14, 1993, the licensee was in violation of these procedural/code requirements in that, rejectable indications on radiographs of safety related welds had gone undetected; weld repairs had not been documented on the radiographic film; and fabrication-related indications, present in the radiographs, had not been documented on the appropriate record, which rendered the record(s) incomplete and inaccurate.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
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). 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 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 10th day of June 1993 9306220072 930610 PDR ADOCK 05000269 0
