DPR-41-
During
an
NRC inspection
conducted
on August
4 through August 31,
1990,
a
violation of
NRC requirements
was identified.
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
and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972.
Section
5. 1 of ANSI
N18.7-1972Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI</br></br>N18.7-1972" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.
requires
that administrative policies
be provided to control
the
issuance
of documents,
including changes,
that prescribe activities
affecting safety-related
structures,
systems,
or components.
Contrary
to the
above,
administrative policies
were not established
to
control
changes
to the master
instrument calibration data
sheet for Unit 4
pump automatic start
pressure
switch,
PC-4-611,
in that
procedures
did not address
changes
to the
instrument calibration data
sheets.
In
January,
1988, the required
and actual
setpoints for PC-3-611
and PC-4-611
were
changed
from 75.0
+ 1.5 psig to 60.0
+ 1.5 psig but the related
instrument
calibration
data
sheets
were
not
changed.
Subsequently,
PC-4-611
was
moved
and then improperly calibrated
to 75.0
+ 1.5 psig using
the instrument calibration
data sheets.
As
a result,
on July 26,
1990,
the Unit
4A
pump improperly automatically started
due to pressure
switch PC-4-611
being set at the wrong value.
This is
a Severity Level
IV Violation (Supplement
1).
Pursuant
to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power
and Light Company is
hereby
required
to submit
a written statement
or explanation
to the Nuclear
Regulatory Coomission,
ATTN:
Document Control
Desk, Washington,
DC 20555; with
a copy to the Regional Administrator,
Region II, and if applicable,
a copy to
the
NRC
Resident
Inspector,
within
30
days
of the
date
of the letter
transmitting this Notice.
This reply should
be clearly marked
as
a "Reply to a
Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
( 1) the reason for
the violation, or, if contested,
the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the
corrective
steps
that
have
been
taken
and
the results
achieved,
(3)
the
corrective
steps
that will be taken to avoid further violations,
and
(4) the
date
when full compliance will be
achieved.
If an
adequate
reply is not
received within the time specified in this Notice,
an order
may be issued to
Power

show cause
why the license

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