ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company St.
Lucie 1 and 2
Docket Nos.
50-335 and 50-389 License Nos.
DPR-67 and NPF-16 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on September 6 - October 31,
- 1987, two violations of NRC requirements were identified.
One violation involved the failure to establish and/or implement procedures and the second violation in failure to meet a license condition.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
( 1987),
the violations are listed below:
V Units 1
and 2 Technical Specifications (TS) 6.8. l.a, states that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities referenced below:
Applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2,
February
- 1978, Appendix A, states in part, that recovery from reactor trip, operation at hot standby, power operation and process monitoring, and refueling and core alterations are considered general plant operating procedures which should be covered by written procedures.
Contrary to the above, l.
On October 24,
- 1987, procedure, 2-M-0036, Reactor Vessel Maintenance-Sequence of Operations, was not properly implemented in that while performing a lift of the Unit 2 in-core instrumentation
( ICI) plate, utilizing the polar crane, a load cell was not utilized as required by the procedure.
This resulted in excessive lifting force being applied by the crane, resulting in deformation of the ICI plate.
2.
On October 28,
- 1987, procedure 1-0700020, Condensate and Feedwater, was not properly implemented in that while electrically realigning the Unit 1 operating condensate
- pumps, the turbine operator, after removing the 18 pump from the electric lineup, inadvertently stopped the'nly remaining operating condensate pump which resulted in a loss of feedwater and a
subsequent Unit 1 reactor trip from 20~ power.
Additionally, the procedure was not properly established in that, after completing the electrical realignment, the procedure did not specify how to disengage the protective interlock which is activated during the realignment evolution.
This contributed to the confusion which resulted in the inadvertent trip of the condensate pump and subsequent reactor trip.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) ~

Emergency Power Sources (Section 8.4.2,
- SER, SSER 3),
and ll, Containment Electrical Penetrations (Section 8.4.3, SSER 3), require:
Prior to startup following the first refueling outage, the licensee shall implement the design modification to disconnect four-kilovolt loads on detection of a safety injection signal and provide two isolation devices in series for those non-safety electrical loads that are not disconnected by a safety injection signal or a loss of offsite power, and 2.
Prior to startup following the first refueling outage, the licensee shall complete the design modifications to provide independent primary and backup fault protection for each electrical conductor penetrating containment.
Contrary to the
- above, Unit 2 License commitments were not fully implemented, in that, at least eight electrical conductors, which penetrate the Unit 2 containment,-
were identified as not having the required two isolation devices in series and/or independent primary and backup protection modifications completed prior to startup after the first refueling outage.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I),
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2. 201, Florida Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including (for each violation):
(l) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results
- achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Where good cause is
- shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
