Consumers Power Company Palisades Plant NOTICE OF VIOLATION Docket No. 50-255 License No. DPR-20 During an NRC inspection conducted from May 14 through July 1, 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 (1991), the violation is listed below.
10 CFR 50, part 73.a.2.iv requires that any event or condition that resulted in manual or automatic actuation of any Engineered Safety Feature ( ESF) sha 11 be reported by the licensee as a Licensee Event Report (LER).
10 CFR 50, part 73.d requjres that LERs be submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as specified in 10 CFR 50, part 4, within 30 days of discovery of a reportable event or situation.
Contrary to the above, an LER was not submitted within the prescribed 30 day period (by March 26) for a February 24, 1991, automatic ESF actuation -- an unplanned auto-start of the 1-2 diesel generator.
The auto-start occurred when low voltage was sensed on the 11 C 11 safeguards bus during the integrated performance of Q0-21, "Auxiliary Feedwater System Valves, Inservice Test Procedure," and T-297, "Diesel Generator 1-1 Load Reject.
11 This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

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, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not b~ taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
