ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power
& Light Co.
St.
Lucie Nuclear Plant Docket Nos.
50-335 and 50-389 License Nos.
DPR-67 and NPF-16 During an NRC inspection conducted on Hay 2 - 6,
- 1994, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR 2 Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, requires measures which assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
For significant conditions, the identification, cause, and corrective action taken are required to be documented and reported to appropriate levels of management.
Contrary to the above, on Hay 3, 1994, in three instances the licensee's measures had not been effective in assuring that:
(1) conditions adverse to quality would be promptly identified and corrected; and (2) the identification and correction of significant conditions adverse to quality were documented and reported to management.
The significant conditions adverse to quality involved stall failures of redundant Unit 2 motor-operated valves (HOVs) 2-HV-08-12 and -13, which operate to supply steam to the Unit 2 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump.
Valve 2-MV-08-12 stalled when actuated to open on November 11,
- 1991, and 2-MV-08-13 similarly stalled on September 15,
- 1992, and July 20, 1993.
The licensee did not identify that the stall thrust and torque forces had exceeded the associated actuator and valve maximum limits.
Corrective actions documented did not provide an adequate basis for returning the actuator and valve to operation.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power 8 Light Co. is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to -the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.
