APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation Ginna Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-244 License No. DPR-18 As a result of the inspection conducted on May 6 through June 7, 1991, additional staff review of licensee documents in December 1991, and in accordance with the "General Statement of policy and procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy) (1991), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," states, in part, 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 condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition...".
On May 24, 1990, the licensee identified that five of the eight degraded voltage relays at Ginna might have voltage setting below the Technical specification limit. This problem was subsequently corrected and reported to the NRC in LER 90-008, dated August 20, 1990.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
On December 27, 1991, a package describing licensee corrective actions for this violation was sent to the NRC for review.
This package contains calibration data sheets which showed that the affected relay dropout voltage setpoints were raised to 104.5V and above.
The package also contains a memo dated April 26, 1991, from P. Swift to S. Adams.
This memo determined that plant operability is not a concern for relay dropout voltage to be slightly below Technical Specification requirements.
The NRC considered licensee corrective actions for this violation to be adequate.
No response is required from Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation.
