NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power 8 Light Company Shearon Harris Unit 1 Docket No. 50-400 License No. NPF-63 During an NRC inspection conducted from July 21 through August 31,
- 1996, a
violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations)."
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 8.b, includes specific procedures for surveillance tests listed in the technical specifications.
1.
Licensee surveillance test procedure OST-1214, Emergency Service Water System Operability Train A, Revision 7. Step 7.7. 17 directed the operator to obtain a screenwash pump flowrate between 31-33 inches water column (150-155 gpm) on the installed differential pressure gauge'by throttling pump discharge isolation valve 1SC-23.
2.
Contrary to the above, on August 9,
- 1996, an operator referred to the wrong instrument gauge while throttling emergency service water screenwash pump discharge flow during the performance of procedure OST-1214, resulting in the pump running with nearly no flow for approximately two minutes.
This affected the pump such that the impeller had to be readjusted prior to putting the pump in service.
Licensee surveillance test procedure OST-1045, ESFAS Train B Slave Relay Test, Quarterly Interval, Revision 9, Step 7.20.5 directed the operator to turn Test Switch S938 clockwise and momentarily depress it to test circuitry associated with containment ventilation system isolation.
Contrary to the above, on August 12,
- 1996, an operator depressed the wrong switch (S931) while performing procedure OST-1045.
This resulted in an inadvertent engineered safety features actuation causing three main steam drain valves to shut.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
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:

Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
