ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket No. 50-287 Oconee 3 License No. DPR-55 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 1 - June 4, 1994, one 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:
OconeeTechnical Specification 6.4.1 requires that the Station be operated and maintained in accordance with approved procedures.
Operations Procedure OP/3/A/1103/04, Soluble Poison Concentration Control, Enclosure 3.16, "Operation of 3A Deborating Demineralizer to De-Lithiate Unit 3", requires as a prerequisite for utilizing this enclosure that the 3A Deborating Demineralizer be designated by Chemistry for use in de-lithiation of the Reactor Coolant System.
Contrary to the above, on May 23, 1994, the 3A Deborating Demineralizer was inadvertently utilized for de-lithiation of the RCS rather than the Chemistry designated 3B Deborating Demineralizer. This resulted in an inadvertent dilution of the Reactor Coolant System.
This is a Severity Level IV violation and applies to Unit 3 (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.
