0 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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on January 27,
- 1990, through February 23,
- 1990, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved a failure to meet the requirements of TS 6.8. 1 in that an operator failed to verify prerequisites were satisfied for a system alignment which resulted in a plant transient.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions",
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990), 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 and recommendations of Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33 and Sections 5.1 of ANSI N18.7-1972.
Section
- 5. 1.2 of ANSI N18.7-1972 requires that procedures be followed.
Operating Procedure 4-0P-013, Instrument Air System, dated December 15, 1989, Section 3.0, Prerequisites, required that all instruments and control devices be in service for the instrument air system operation with no clearances that could affect system operability.
This is verified by reviewing the. clearance log.
Contrary to the above, on February 4,
- 1990, a senior nuclear plant operator returned the Unit 4 instrument,air dryer to service per 4-OP-013 without verifying system clearances.
This resulted in the Unit 4 instrument air supply being isolated.
The control room operators were required to reduce load to prevent a reactor trip until the instrument air was restored.*
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).
Pursuant to the prov.isions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
