ENCLOSURE 1

NOTICE OF VIOLATION Car'olina Power and Light Company Shearon Harris Unit 1

Docket No. 50-400 License No.

NPF-63 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 23 - April 19,

1991, 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

(1990), the violation is listed below:

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, paragraphs 1.d/e requires administrative procedures for procedure adherence/procedure review and approval.

Administrative Procedure AP-005, Procedure Format and Preparation, step 5.6. 1.15, requires that procedures be written such that a backflow preventer (check valve) be installed when temporarily connecting a

radioactive system to the instrument air system.

This procedure further specifies that this requirement be incorporated into applicable plant procedures prior to their next use.

Contrary to the above, on April 16, 1991, procedure AP-005 was not properly implemented in that a backflow preventer was not installed between the radioactive pressurizer sample system and the instrument air system during the performance of local leak rate testing and the test procedure did not incorporate the requirement to install a back flow preventer.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

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 U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified,
