ENCLOSURE 1
NOT.ICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Shearon Harris Docket No. 50-400 License No.
NPF-63 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 1-5,
- 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved inadequacy of safety evaluations.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Acr.ions,"
Appendix C
(1986),
the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50.59 states that the licensee may make changes to the facility without prior Commission approval unless the proposed change involves an unreviewed safety question.
It further states that a
proposed change shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed safety question if the proba-bility of occurrence or the consequence of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report may be increased.
It also states that the licensee shall maintain records of change in the facility and that these records shall include a
written safety evaluation which provides the bases for determining that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
Contrary to the above, although safety evaluations were prepared for Plant Change Request (modification, PCR) 1286 and PCR 825, neither safety evalu-ation adequately provided the bases to assure that the consequences of an accident previously evaluated in the safety analysis report may be increased.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.021, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the da-e of the lette~ transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including:
( 1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results
- achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
