8 0 0514 0 Appendix A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Consumers Power Company License No. DPR-20 Based on the inspection conducted during December 1979 and January 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were in noncompliance with NRC requirements, as noted below.
The item is an infraction.
10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Section IV.A requires, in part "... replacement of a component which is part of the primary reactor containment bound-ary,... shall be followed by a Type A, Type B, or Typr C test, as applicable... ".
Contrary to the above, the licensee periodically removes a pipe cap on the containment pressure instrument lines to test and calibrate the pressure transmitters and switches.
Although the pipe cap is part of the primary containment boundary, no leak test was performed after re-placement of the cap following instrument testing on June 5 and on July 2, 1979.
The reactor was operated at power after both tests.
