APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station Docket Nos: 50-272 50-311 Units 1 and 2 License Nos: DPR-70 DPR-75 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 27, 1993 - January 15, 1994, 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 (1992), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that licensees shall implement procedures for control of safety-related activities recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, 1978 edition. Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, Appendix A, section 9, states, in part, that detailed procedures are required for maintenance activities not within the skills of normally qualified personnel.

Contrary to the above, on December 30, 1993, in an effort to correct leakage past check valves forming the pressure boundary between the reactor coolant system and the residual heat removal system, operators at Salem Unit 2 closed safety-related valves 21RH19 and 22RH19 and opened safety-related valves 21SJ50 and 22SJ50, without using a procedure or without prior documented training for the activity. As a result, operators placed a safety system in an abnormal lineup for existing plant conditions.

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 to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
