APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation R.

E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No

~ 50-244 License No.

DPR-18 During inspection at the R.

E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant from January 9 through February 2,

1990, the following violation was identified and evaluated in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C):

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, and the Ginna guality Assurance Manual, Section 16, require that measures be established to promptly iden-tify and correct conditions adverse to quality.

Contrary to the above, a condition adverse to quality was not promptly corrected on January 25,

1990, when Ginna personnel failed to adequately verify the positions of the two steam admission check valves for the tur-bine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump during the quarterly surveillance of the auxiliary feedwater system.

Seating of these check valves prevents a

break in one steam generator from being fed by the other steam generator and is therefore a condition which assures quality.

The NRC resident in-spectors had previously identified the potential inadequacy of steam ad-mission check valve position verification to Ginna management in December 1989.

Ginna management had not subsequently established an'adequate method of check valve position verification.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II) ~

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201, Rochester Gas and Electric is hereby required to sub-mit to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this

Notice, a written reply including:

( 1) the corrective steps which have been

~taken and the results achieved; (2) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

The reply required by this Notice of Violation is exempt from the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1989, PL 96-511.
