ENCLOSURE 1

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

= Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point 3 and 4

Docket No. 50-250, 251 License No.

DPR-31, DPR-41 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on July 6 - July 10,

1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

The violation involved a failure to follow licensed and non-licensed operator requalification program procedures and take prompt corrective action.

In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C

(1986),

the violation is listed below:

NUREG-0737, Item I.C.5 requires the establishment of procedures to ensure that operating experience information is supplied to operator s.

This item was implemented by an NRC Order dated July 10, 1981.

10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XVI and the licensee's accepted quality assurance (gA) program (FPL TAHAR -

1-76A) collectively require that measures be established to assure that nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.

Administrative Procedures, AP-301, Licensed Operator Requalification

Program, and AP-303, Non-Licensed Operator Initial Training and Requalification
Program, require that operators who are more than 13 weeks behind on Training Report (operational experience feedback) reviews, shall not assume unit responsibility.

Operations Surveillance Procedure OSP-200. 1, Schedules of Plant Checks and Surveillances, requires the Plant Supervisor - Nuclear (PS-N) to ensure all shift personnel Training Reports are up to date each shift.

Contrary to the above, on July 7,

1987, NRC inspectors determined that licensed operators and a large number of non-licensed operators were greater than 13 weeks delinquent in reviewing and acknowledging Training Reports and were continuing to assume unit responsibility.

Additionally, although measures were established to assure that noncompliances were promptly identified, they were not promptly corrected in that Corrective Actions Requests (CARs) issued by the licensee's gA organization on December 10,

1986, (CAR-86-783) and June 23,
1987, (CAR-87-028),

cited a

noncompliance in that licensed and non-licensed operators were being allowed to assume unit responsibilities while greater than 13 weeks delinquent on Training Reports.

A letter dated January 20,

1987, cited management's response to CAR-86-783 as inadequate because both licensed and non-licensed operators were continuing to assume unit responsibility without reviewing Training Reports as required by AP-301 and AP-303.

The deficiency had also been previously identified as an unresolved item by the NRC during an inspection conducted February 2-6,

1987, (URI-250, 251/87-07-02).
