NOTICE OF VIOLATION American Electric Power Service Corporation Docket No. 50-315 As a result of the inspection conducted on September 8 through 19,
- 1988, and in accordance with the General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:
Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.8. l.a requires procedures be implemented as recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33,
- November, 1972, which includes, at Item C.8, operating procedures for special containment systems.
Licensee procedure 1-OHP 4021.028.008, "Operation of Containment Air Recirculation and Hydrogen Skimming Systems" is a special containment system procedure and requires specific hydrogen skimming system damper positions during Unit operation to ensure capability to prevent accumulation of potentially explosive quantities of accident-generated hydrogen gas.
Contrary to the above, four of twenty-four hydrogen skimming system dampers were not positioned as required by procedure 1-OHP 4021.029.008 for some undetermined period of Unit operation prior to September 7,
1988.
Two dampers were closed two notches more than specified and two were closed one notch more.
This is Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown'.
