NOTICE OF VIOLATION Indiana Michigan Power Company Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant Docket Nos. 50-315; 5-316 License Nos. DPR-58; DPR-74 During an NRC inspection conducted from October 21-25, 1996, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
D. C. Cook Plant Technical Specification 6.8.1 states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the appiicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, paragraph 1.b, requires that a procedure be written delineating the authorities and responsibilities for safe operation and shutdown.
Plant Managers Instruction (PMI) 7030, "Corrective Action," was written in accordance with RG 1.33.
Step 6.9.a requires an originator to initiate a condition report for known or suspected adverse conditions/events.
Step 5.31 requires, in part, that a prompt operability determination "...must be made expeditiously following identification of a potentially degraded condition that has the potential to impact SSC operability."
Contrary to the above, as of October 21, 1996, the licensee failed to initiate a condition report and properly perform and document a prompt operability determination for the Unit 1 power operated relief valve block valves when valve factor information was obtained that had a potential adverse effect on the operability of the valves to perform the required design-basis function.
This is a Severity Level 1V violation (Supplement I). (50-315/96012-01(DRS);
50-31 6/9601 2-01 (DRS)).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Indiana Michigan Power Company 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 III, 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 as 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.
Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.
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 the response time.
970i030234 96i227 PDR ADQCK 050003i5 8
Notice of Violation Because your response will be 'placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
Dated at Lisle, Illinois, this 27th day of December 1996
