ENCLOSURE I NOTICE OF VIOLATION Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation Ginna Station'ocket No. 50-244 License No.

DPR-18 During NRC inspections conducted on November 22 to December 31,

1994, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," states, in part:

"Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."

Contrary to the above, as part of a modification to the Service Mater system to upgrade the C-Service Water pump discharge check valve, Y-

4603, performed during the period September 29 October 4, 1994, work instructions contained in station modification procedure SN-5284B.2, "C-Service Mater Pump Check Valve 4603 Modification," did not include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria to ensure that the previously in-use expansion joint between the C-Service Mater pump discharge and V-4603 would fit properly following completion of the check valve modification.

As a result, installation caused the expansion joint to be stretched by an amount that was in excess of the manufacturer's maximum allowable value, which subsequently caused the pressure retaining capability of the expansion joint to be degraded.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.

(Supplement I)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).

This reply should be clearly marked a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:

(1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results

achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information 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.

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