APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-272 License No. DPR-70 As a result of the inspection conducted from October 26-30, 1992, and in accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Action," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, 1992, the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, corrective action states, in part, that "measure shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions... defective equipment and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected... "
Contrary to the above, on October 29, 1992, the ventilation damper (1 VHE839) of the "C" battery room failed to stay open to provide proper ventilation. The damper had been in the closed position since March 8, 1991. This deficiency was identified by the licensee on August 29, 1991. Adequate ventilation is required to prevent hydrogen accumulation from reaching the ignition limit.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Electric and Gas Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, AITN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and, a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, within thirty days of the receipt date of the letter which transmitted this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include:
(1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation; (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and ( 4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
