ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point Unit 3 Docket No. 50-250 License No.
DPR-31 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 9 - April 27,
- 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violations involved the failure to follow a procedure OP 16900.16.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Action," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C
( 1986), the violation is listed below:
TS. 6.8.1 requires that written procedures and administrative policies shall be established, implemented and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements of section 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972 and Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33.
ANSI N18.7-1972, section 5.3.4.5,
- states, in part, that fuel handling operations shall be performed in accordance with written procedures.
Section 5.1.2 of ANSI N18.7-1972 specifies that procedures shall be followed.
Operating Procedure (OP) 16900.16, revision dated October 25,
- 1985, entitled Rod Cluster Control (RCC) Tool, requires in section 8.2.2 that when raising the secondary source to:
Release the joystick lock and move it to position "up with the rod".
This will raise the gripper with rod attached until the up travel limit is reached.
The "up" light will go on and the motor will stop.
Now the RCC assembly is fully withdrawn in the RCC change tool.
Contrary to the above, on April 16, 1987, Operations personnel failed to follow OP 16900.16 when relocating regenerative secondary sources to new fuel assemblies in the Unit 3 spent fuel pit.
Operations personnel performing the source relocation failed to fully withdraw the secondary source from a fuel assembly as instructed by step 8.2.2.
Consequently, when the source was moved in the horizontal direction it contacted the fuel assembly and was damaged.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) applicable to Unit 3 only.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power and Light Company is
