NOTICE OF VIOLATION Consumers Power Company**.
Palisades Nuclear Generating Facility Docket No. 50-255 License No. DPR-20 During an NRC inspection conducted from August 13 through September 12, '1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the 11Gener*a l Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, 11 NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in paragraph 50.2 and as specified in the license application, for those structures, systems, and components to which this appendix applies, is correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Also, design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews.
Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Section 9.8~1:4.c specifies that the control room HVAC sy$tem is designed to limit the radiation exposure of control room personnel during any of the postulated design basis accident~
within the*guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, Gene~al Design Criterion 19.
10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 19, states, in part, that adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit access and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem whole body, or its equivalent to any part of* the body, for the duration of the accident.
Contrary to the above, adequate design control was not provided for the control room HVAC system to ensure that the system's design basis was met.
Specifically, adequate radiation protection was not provided~to permit access and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions to ensure that personnel radiation exposures'would not exceed 5 rem whol'e body, or its equivalent.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
