APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric & Gas Company Hope Creek Generating Station Docket No.

50-354 License No. NPF-57 Ouring an NRC inspection conducted from December 3 - 7, 1990, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the 11General Statement of

.Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, 11 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990), the violation is listed below:

A.

10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XIII states that measures shall be ~sta blished to control the handling, and preservation of material and equip-ment to prevent damage or deterioration.

Criterion V states that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by procedures and shall be accomplished in accordance with these procedures.

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires Regulatory Guide 1.33 and Regulatory Guide 1.33 mandates ANS-3.2 ANSI Nl8.7-1976 of which paragraph 5.2.13.4, states:

(1) that measures shall be provided to control preservation of equipment, and (2) that ANSI/ASME N45.2.2-1972 shall be applied.

ANSI/ASME N45.2.2 1972, paragraph 6.4.2(5) states that space heaters enclosed in electrical items shall be energized; (6) states that rotating elec-trical equipment shall be given insulation resistance tests on a scheduled basis; and (8) states that other maintenance requirements specified for the item shall be performed.

In addition, the licensee's procedure NC.VP-PO.ZZ-0003(Q), Revision 0, paragraph 4.2, states that the Material Control process shall provide for storage to afford the maximum protection and preventive maintenance of stored materials; and procedure VPN-PRP-02, Revision 0, paragraph 6.4, states that Storage Controls includes preventive maintenance as well as measures such as energizing; paragraph 8.5.5, states items placed into stores should be promptly posted to the records so that stores inventory reflects current status.

Contrary to the above, on December 6, 1990, measures had not been taken to provide preservation of a safety-related core spray pump motor located in the Salem/Hope Creek*warehouse No. 4 since late August 1990, in that the motor's space heater had not been connected and energized, the insulation resistance tests had not been performed on the scheduled basis, and the preventive maintenance required in the maintenance management system (MMS) inventory had not been performed on the scheduled basis.

In addition, the motor was missing from the MMS inventory, although it had been stored in the warehouse greater than 3 months, and the inventory did not reflect the current status.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
