ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pennsylvania Power and Light Company Susquehanna Unit 2 Docket No. 50-388 License No.
NPF-22 During an NRC inspection conducted from February 6, 1996 - March 18,
- 1996, a
violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (NUREG-1600),"
the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix 8, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires licensees to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures and malfunctions, are promptly identified and corrected.
PPSL's Nuclear Department Administrative Procedure NDAP-(A-0702, "Condition Reports,"
Revision 1, requires'dentification of conditions that could affect the ability of the station to operate within the conditions of the operating license.
Contrary to the above, on February 15,
- 1996, the licensee failed to promptly identify that secondary containment isolation damper HD-27564A was not fully closing during a Technical Specification surveillance test and returned it to service.
Although the damper failed to close on three successive attempts during the surveillance, no Condition Report was initiated and corrective action was not taken prior to returning the damper to service.
On February 16,
- 1996, damper HD-27564A failed to close on a signal from the control room.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
Pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 2.201, Pennsylvania Power and Light is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
Nuclear regulatory Commission, ATTN. Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

- achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violation, 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 a'emand 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.
