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 an NRC inspection conducted on July 24 through August 20,
- 1993, 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, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8. 1= requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Item 1.d of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February,
- 1978, Appendix A, recommends the use of administrative procedures for procedure adherence, and item 3.k of this Appendix recommends the use of procedures for activities involving the energizing, filling, venting, draining, startup,
- shutdown, and changing modes of operation of the feedwater system (feedwater pumps to steam generator).
Section
- 5. 1 of Administrative Procedure O-ADH-201, Operations Procedure
- Usage, requires operating procedures to be performed in a step by step manner with each step being completed prior to the performance of the next step unless exception is allowed by the procedure.
Sections 7.8 and 7.9 of Operating Procedure 4-OP-081. 1, Feedwater
- Heaters, Extraction Steam,
- Vents, and Drains Valve Alignment, require that the 6A and 6B feedwater heater tube side outlet valves, 4-30-123 and 4-30-223, respectively, be opened prior to positioning the 6A and 6B feedwater tube side normal/bypass
- valves, 4-20-121 and 4-20-221, respectively, to the normal position.
Contrary to the above, on August 16,
- 1993, 6A and 6B feedwater heater tube side normal/bypass valves 4-20-121 and 4-20-221 (located between the feedwater pumps and the steam generator) were taken to the normal position without having 6A and 6B feedwater heater tube side outlet valves 4-30-123 and 4-30-223 fully open.
This caused a perturbation in the feedwater system which eventually resulted in a reactor trip.
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 U.S.
