NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System Mashington Nuclear Project No.
2 (MNP-2)
Docket No. 50-397 License No. NPF-21 EA 93-134 During an NRC inspection conducted on April 2 through Nay 17,
- 1993, a
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 Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, states that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the conditions is determined and that corrective action is taken to preclude repetition.
Licensee Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.2.1 states that the suppression chamber shall be operable with drywell-to-suppression chamber bypass leakage less than or equal to 10% of the acceptable A/~ design value of
.050 square feet.
Contrary'o the above, licensee corrective actions in response to a Notice of Violation issued in March 1992 (Inspection Report 50-397/
92-03), involving deficiencies in a test procedure that would have resulted in exceeding TS 3.6.2. 1 suppression chamber bypass leakage limits, did not preclude repetition.
Specifically, the licensee failed to correct similar deficiencies in Plant Procedure 7.4.6.6. 1.3C, "Hydrogen Recombiner 1A Flow Instrumentation," resulting in the licensee exceeding the limit of TS 3.6.2.1 during performance of that procedure on Narch 31, 1993.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
This is a repeat violation.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Mashington Public Power Supply System (the Licensee) is hereby required. to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington D.C.

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.
