ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power 5 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 April 10 - June 12,
- 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved failure of the design process in specifying adequate mountings for compressed gas cylinders in safety-related areas.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Action," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C
( 1988),'he violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix 8, Criterion III, as implemented by FPL Topical guality Assurance Report 1-76A, Rev.
15, TgR 3.0, requires that design inputs be specified and correctly translated into design output documents.
ANSI Standard N45.2.11 - 1974, Section 3,
invoked by the topical report appendix C,
echoes this requirement.
ANSI N45.2. 11 Section 3.2 further requires that design inputs include:
- Loads, such as
- seismic, wind,
- thermal, and dynamic; Mechanical Requirements, such as vibration, stress,
- shock, and reaction forces; Structural Requirements covering such items as equipment foundations and pipe supports; and Interface Requirements including definition of the functional and physical interfaces involving structures, systems and components.
ANSI N45.2. 11 Section 4 further requires that methods shall provide for relating the final design back to the source of design input, that this be traceable, and that design activities be documented in sufficient detail to permit certain verifica-tion and auditing.
ANSI Standard N18.7 - 1976, which is also invoked by the topical report appendix C, requires proper completion and inspection of design changes.
Contrary to the above:
In some cases, proper design inputs had not been considered or had not been translated into output documents for the adequate mounting of compressed gas cylinders in safety-related equipment areas and for the protection of safety-related components such as the main steam isolation valves, refueling water tank appurtenances, and main feed isolation valves from missile effects of damaged compressed gas cylinders.
In some cases, the design process had been ignored or the design was not implemented by the resulting modification.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
