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 November 18, 1989 January 5,
- 1990, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
( 1989), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.8. l.a requires that written procedures be established and implemented covering procedures outlined in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, paragraph 8.b requires that written procedures be provided for surveillance tests.
Operations Surveillance Test OST-1804, RHR Remote Position Indication and Timing Test, provides the steps and prerequisites necessary to verify proper valve operation.
Step
- 3. 1 of this procedure requires that the system being tested be aligned in a
manner that will support the performance of the test.
Operations Surveillance Test OST-1004, Power Range Heat Balance, provides the steps necessary to adjust the power range nuclear instruments.
Note 1
on attachment VII of this procedure, requires that if there is insufficient adjustment on the fine gain potentiometer, that a
work request be generated to adjust the course gain potentiometer.
Contrary to the above; 1.
On November 28,
- 1989, procedure OST-1804 was not properly implemented in that the RHR system lineup was not adequately aligned to allow test performance which resulted in the overflow of contaminated borated water from the reactor vessel to the seal table area of containment.
2.
On December 23, 1989 procedure OST-1004 was not properly implemented in that a work request was not generated and course gain adjustments were made.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
Technical Specification 3.8. 1. 1 action "b" requires, in part, that the A.C. offsite power sources be demonstrated operable when an emergency diesel generator is inoperable, by performing surveillance requirement 4.8. 1. 1. l.a within one hour and at least once per eight hours thereafter.

Docket No. 50-400 License No.
NPF-63 Surveillance requirement 4.8. 1. 1. l.a specifies that the A.C. offsite power sources be determined operable by verifying correct breaker alignment and power availability.
Contrary to the
- above, while the "B" emergency diesel generator was inoperable from approximately 9:45 a.m.
on January 1,
- 1990, until 2:35 p.m.
on January 2,
- 1990, the A.C. offsite power sources were not determined to be operable by verifying correct breaker alignment and power availability at least once per eight hours.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control
