APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station Docket No.
50-272 License No. DPR-70 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 31, 1989 - March 20, 1089, and in accordance with 11General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions 11, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C (Enforc~ment Policy 1988), the following violations were identified:
A.
Technical Specification 6.8.l requires that procedures be established, implemented and maintained for surveillance and test activities of safety related equipment.
Contrary to the above, surveillance procedures were not properly implemented as follows:
- 1.
On February 6, 1989, a licensed reactor operator failed to switch steam gener~tor water level control to the alternate protection channel as required by procedure SP(0)2.6.060, 11 No. 14 Steam Generator Steam Pressure Channel Functional Test 11 ; which subsequently resulted in a reactor trip from full power for Unit 1.
- 2.
On February 7, 1989, a licensed reactor operator failed to defeat the second level undervoltage protective relay for the C vital bus as required by procedure SP(0)4.3.l.l.1, 11 Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker Status Indication 11 ; which resulted in an emergency diesel generator start and sequencing of blackout loads on the C vital bus.
- 3.
On February 18, 1989, an instrument and controls technician failed to verify the proper status of reactor protection system panel lights for turbine stop valves and turbine low oil pressure as required by procedure lIC-2.6.025 11 1PT-506 First Stage Turbine Impulse Pressure 11 ; which resulted in a reactor trip at low power for Unit 1.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
The Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50 Appendix B, Section XVI, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that the causes of significant conditions adverse to quality (nonconformances) be determined and that corrective action be taken to preclude repetition.
Contrary to the above, *licensee corrective actions for recurrent nonconformances relating to material classification and mixed storage discrepancies have not effectively precluded repetition of previous nonconformances as evidenced by the following findings:
