ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point Units 3 and 4
Docket Nos.
50-250, 50-251 License Nos.
DPR-31, DPR-41 During the NRC inspection conducted on June 3-25,
- 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved one example of the failure to meet the requi rements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions",
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, as implemented by the approved Florida Power and Light Company Topical Quality Assurance Report (FPLTQAR) 1-76A, Revision 11, Topical Quality Requirement (TQR) 3.0, Revision 5,
requires that design changes be subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and that these design control measures assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications,
- drawings, procedures and instructions.
FPLTQAR 1-76A, Appendix C,
Revision 7
specifically
- commits, with exceptions not relevant
- here, to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N45.2. 11-1974, Quality Assurance Requirements for the Design of Nuclear Power Plants, and to Regulatory Guide 1.64, Revision 2, Quality Assurance Requirements for the Design of Nuclear Power
- Plants, which endorses ANSI N45.2. 11-1974.
ANSI-N45.2. 11-1974 specifies that documented procedures shall be provided for design changes to approved design documents which assure that the impact of the change is carefully considered, required actions documented and information concerning the change is transmitted to all affected persons and organizations.
These changes must be justified and subjected to control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design.
Original design specification 5610-M-50 and current design specification 5177-PS-11 both specify that fittings for the Intake Cooling Water (ICW) system be made from stainless steel.
Contrary to the
- above, on March 5,
- 1986, a
change was made to the ICW design specifications through the resolution of non-conformance report 86-112, attachment D, drawing 5610-J-155-P10, Note 12, which allowed the use of a carbon steel pipe fitting between the root valve and the main header for pressure gauge PI-3-1452.
The increased susceptibility of the carbon steel to corrosion was not carefully considered or justified through an engineering evaluation.
Subsequently, on April 27,
- 1988, the fitting failed due to salt water induced corrosive wear.
This resulted in the 3A ICW pump being place out of service.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
