i APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Docket No.

50-410 License No.

NPF-69 As a result of the inspection conducted on August 25 through October 3,

1988, and in accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy ( 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C) the following violations were identified:

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Technical Specification 6.8 requires that the

,licensee implement procedures for surveillance and testing of safety-related equipment.

Surveillance procedure N2-ISP-RMC-9101, RBM Flow Biased Trip Point Adjustment for Single Loop Operation, requires in step

9. 1 that a sign off be made to the effect that all "As-Left" data obtained and recorded in step 8.2.23 meet the criteria stated on the checklist/data sheet for that step.

Also, step

6. 1 of this procedure requires that the Senior Shift Supervisor (SSS) and the I&C Supervisor be informed if any step in the procedure cannot be completed as stated.

Contrary to the above, on September 15,

1988, an ISC technician signed off step 9. 1 of the procedure;
however, the "As-Left" trip settings for the Rod Block Backup Trip (channels A and B) were not obtained and not recorded in step 8.2.23 due to a procedural deficiency.

Furthermore, contrary to the requirements of step

6. 1 neither the SSS nor the IKC Supervisor were informed that the procedure could not be completed as written.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

B.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI and Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Quality Assurance Program Topical Report for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Operations, QATR-l, Revision 3, Section 16, require that conditions adverse to quality be promptly identified and that corrective action be implemented in a timely manner.

Contrary to the above, when on July 21,

1988, the station Quality Assurance organization initiated Corrective Action Request (CAR) 88-1017 identifying an incomplete list of snubbers required to be inspected per Unit 2 Technical Specifications (TS) 4.7.5.b by July 29,
1988, licensee response to CAR 88-1017 and corrective actions were untimely and inadequate to preclude violating TS 4.7.5.b-as determined on September 1,

1988.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
