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 October 29, 1988 through November 23,

1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

The violation involved a

failure to follow procedures for identifying potential field discrepancies.

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 XVI, as implemented by FPL Topical Quality Assurance Report (TQAR) 1-76-A, Topical Quality Requirement (TQR) 16.0, Corrective Action, requires that documented measures be used to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as nonconformances, be promptly identified and corrected as soon as practicable.

TQR 16.2. 1, requires that whgre corrective action is required of contractor personnel.,

FPL shall require the A/E, NSSS vendor, constructor and other suppliers of safety related materials and services to have a

documented corrective action system.

Westinghouse Energy Systems Services Division (ESSD) procedure OPR 210-4, Control of Nonconformances, paragraphs A and B under the heading of General, states in part that NSSS components,

parts, material or safety related services which are determined to be nonconforming as a result of an operation or service for which an ESSD organization is responsible shall

-have the responsible engineering group provide technical justification to support dispositioning of repair or accept as-is, and it shall be documented as part of the Nonconformance Report.

Contrary to the

above, on October 22,
1988, when Westinghouse site personnel became'ware of a potential field discrepancy regarding damage to the Unit 4 reactor vessel
head, no Nonconformance Report justifying a repair was generated.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit to,this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including:

( 1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results

achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further v'iolations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
