ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket No. 50-270 Oconee 2 License No. DPR-47 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 27 - March 26, 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:
Oconee Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.2.a allows one Motor Driven Emergency Feedwater Pump to be inoperable for a period of seven days during unit operation.
Contrary to the above, the 2A Emergency Motor Driven Feedwater Pump was determined to be inoperable for a period of 15 days (December 14 December 29, 1993) due to a failed pressure switch in the start initiation circuitry. The pressure switch was replaced on December 29, 1993, which resulted in the elimination of a ground alarm of the direct current electrical system that had been present since December 14, 1993.
The licensee determined that the 2A Emergency Motor Driven Feedwater Pump had been inoperable since the ground alarm had occurred.
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 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.
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 15th day of April 1994 9405230161 940415 PDR.
