NOTICE OF VIOLATIONCombined Inspection 50-387/90-26; 50-388/90-26
The enclosed report documents a routine safety inspection conducted by inspectors of this
office from December 30, 1990 to February 11, 1991, at the Susquehanna
Steam Electric
Station (SSES), Salem Township, Pennsylvania.
The inspection covered plant operations,
surveillance, 'and maintenance activities for both units.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
Mr. G. S. Barber, NRC Senior Resident Inspector, summarized the inspection findings, as
detailed in the enclosed report, with Mr. H. G. Stanley and other members of your staff.
t
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears
that one of your activities was not in full
compliance with NRC regulations.
On January
15, 1991, the inboard Main Steam Isolation
Valves (MSIVs) for Susquehanna
Unit 1 were declared inoperable due to low, Containment
Instrument Gas (CIG) Pressure.
However, the plant operators failed to recognize that
Technical Specification 3.6.3 applied as a Limiting Condition of Operation in this instance;
and the Shift Surveillance Operating Log Procedure SO-100-006 failed to include any
reference to this Technical Specification.
Accordingly, this matter is identified as a violation
of Technical Specification 6.8.1, relative to failure maintain plant conditions within the
boundaries specified by the Technical Specification and License Conditions as required by
Procedure 80-QA-300, Conduct of Operations.
This issue is set forth in the Notice of
Violation enclosed
as Appendix A. You are required to respond to this letter and should
follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
The responses
directed by
this letter and the Notice are not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of
Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
