Box 968
- Richland, Washington 99352 Docket No. 50-397 Construction Permit No.
CPPR-93 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Based on the results of NRC inspections conducted during the period of September 1-30, 1980, it appears that one of your activities was not conducted in full compliance with conditions of your NRC Construction Permit No.
CPPR-93 as indicated below:
10 CFR 50.55(e) states, in part, that "the holder of a construction permit
--shall notify the Commission of each deficiency found in design and construction, which, were it to have remained uncorrected, could have affected adversely the safety of operations of the nuclear power plant at any time throughout, the expected lifetime of the plant, and which represents...A significant deficiency in construction of or significant damage to a structure,
- system, or component which will require extensive evaluation, extensive redesign, or extensive repair to meet the criteria and bases stated in the safety analysis report or construction permit or to otherwise establish the adequacy of the structure,
- system, or component to perform its intended safety function...The holder of a construction permit shall within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> notify the appropriate Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection and Enforcement Regional Office of each reportable deficiency."
Contrary to the above, the licensee did not notify the Nuclear Regulatory Corrmission Inspection and Enforcement Regional Office that safety related electrical switch gear manufactured by Westinghouse had been installed such that it was unknown whether the equipment would operate properly
~
during a design basis seismic event.
Extensive evaluation and in-situ testing were required to determine the acceptability of the installation.
The licensee was notified by the architect-engineer on July 5, 1979, of this construction deficiency and that an extensive evaluation program would be required to establish the acceptability of the installation.
This is an infraction.
