NOTICE OF VIOLATION Consumers Power Company Docket No. 50-255 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 3 through April 4, 1988, and in accordance with General Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:
- 1.
10 CFR 50.59 requires that a safety evaluation be performed for changes made in the facility as described in the FSAR and that the bases be documented for the determination that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question (URSQ).
Otherwise prior Commission approval is required.
Contrary to the above, in 1982 the licensee identified a discrepancy between the FSAR description of containment penetration number 33 and the existing method of satisfying a Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance requirement and did not identify the issue as an URSQ.
Subsequent intentions to modify the penetration or submit a TS change request were dropped without proper review.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
- 2.
Technical Specification 6.8.1.C requires that surveillance and test activities of safety-related equipment be implemented and maintained.
Surveillance procedure MI-39 tests the Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation System logic in accordance with Technical Specificiation 4.1.3.16.
Contrary to the above, I&C technicians performing Technical Specification Surveillance MI-39 on April 4, 1988 did not implement the procedure when they did not obtain the required logic channel trip indications due to incorrect test performance, and yet they signed the data sheet believing they had properly completed the surveillance test.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for the above violation: (1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
APR 2 2 1988 Date 88050:30346 PDR ADOCK GJ.
