ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Shearon Harris Unit 1
Docket No. 50-400 License No.
NPF-63 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on July 20
- August 20,
- 1987, two violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The violations involved an improper positioning of a
compressed air valve and failure to report an engineered safety feature actuation.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.8. la requires that written procedures be implemented covering the procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev.
2, February 1978.
Administrative Procedures are identified in Appendix A of the Regulatory Guide.
Administrative Procedure AP-020, Clearance Procedure, Rev.
1, requires in step 5.1 that clearance personnel specify the correct operational position of valves when returning a system to service.
Contrary to the above, on August 4,
- 1987, AP-020 was not implemented, in that clearance personnel failed to correctly specify the position of an air system
- valve, 1IA-852, while attempting to return the system to a
normal valve lineup.
As a result, valve 1IA-852 was shut, isolating the air supply for a feedwater flow control valve which caused a secondary system transient, ultimately leading to a reactor and turbine trip.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 50.72 requires that the licensee notify the NRC Operations Center via the Emergency Notification System when any event or condition results in manual or automatic actuation of any engineered safety feature (ESF).
The event is required to. be reported within four hours of its occurrence.
Contrary to the above, on August 5, 1987, the licensee failed to report an automatic actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system within the required four-hour time period.
The actuation of this ESF system occurred at 2:01 a.m.
and was not reported to the NRC Operations Center until 9:44 a.m.
This is a Severity Level V.violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including (for each violation):
( 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.
