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 September 26 through October 30,
- 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.'tem 2.g of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February
- 1978, Appendix A, recommends the use of procedures for activities involving power operation and process monitoring, and item 1.h of this Appendix recommends the use of procedures for log entries.
Section 5.3, Dilution, step 5.3.2.9, of procedure O-OP-046, Chemical and Volume Control System
- Boron Concentration Control, requires the operator to observe Tavg for 15 to 20 minutes and stop dilution if Tavg increases greater than 1.5'F above Tref.
Section 5.3. 13 of procedure 0-OP-46 also requires entries to be made in the reactor control operator (RCO) log book following completion of any section.
Section 5.3 of procedure O-ADM-204, Operations Narrative Log Books, requires log book entries to be made in the RCO log book for activities involving reactivity changes other than during startup and shutdown.
Contrary to the above, on October 22, 1993, the Unit 3 RCO failed to adequately observe Tavg and Tref during the performance of section 5.3 of procedure 0-OP-046.
Consequently, Tavg increased more than 2.6'F above Tref, and an inadvertent overdilution event went unnoticed.
This resulted in an unplanned increase in reactor power.
Further, this reactivity change, as well as others, were not logged in the RCO log book.
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 a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

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