NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 License No. NPF-16 EA 88-117 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 5
to April 9, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accor-dance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:
Unit 2 Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.3 requires that containment isolation valves specified in Table 3.6-2 shall be operable in modes I through 4 or various actions be taken within 4 to 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> to correct the situation or place the unit in cold shutdown.
Contrary to the above, valve I-HCV-2516, a containment isolation valve in the Chemical Volume and Control System (CVCS) letdown line, listed in TS Table 3.6-2, was inoperable in excess of the time limits specified by the TS without the required action being taken.
Specifically, on March 13, 1988, with the plant operating in Mode I at 100Ã power valve I-HCV-2516 was electrically "jumped open" and effectively rendered inoperable by positioning its "normal/isolate" switch to the "isolate" position.
This action by-passed the containment isolation actuation (CIA) and safety injection actuation (SIA) signals to that valve.
This discrepancy existed until April 6, 1988, when the condition was discovered and the "normal/
isolation" switch returned to the "normal" position.
This is a Severity Level III violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power and Light Company (licensee) is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, within 30 days of the of this Notice.
This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include: (I) 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.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
2232, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
The responses to the Director, Office of Enforcement, noted above (Reply to a Notice of Violation) should be addressed to:
