APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Sefvice Electric and Gas Company Hope Creek Generating Station Docket No:
50-354 License Nos: NPF-57 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 27 - April 30, 1994, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1992), the viOlations are listed below:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI requires, in part, that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed. Procedure HC.RA-IS.ZZ-0008(Q), Revision 0 prerequisites require that non-seismic portions of the control rod drive system be vented during Containment Integrated Leak Rate Testing (CILJlT). 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, section 11.A.1.b requires closure of containment isolation valves for the Type A test by normal operation and without any preliminary exercising or adjustments.
Contrary to the above, prior to Containment Integrated Leak Rate (Type A) Testing on April 11 and 12, 1994, the non-seismic portions of the control rod drive system were not vented, and the control rod drive directional control valves, listed as
- containment isolation valves in the FSAR, were exercised prior to the Type A tes~.
This is a Severity Level N violation (Supplement I).

B.
Hope Creek Technical Specification 6.8.1.c requires, in part, that written procedures
- be implemented for refueling operations. Procedure HC.OP-IO.ZZ-OOOl(Q),
Refueling to Cold Shutdown, step 5.2.21, requires that the fuel p00l gate inter-space drain valve be opened upon completion of refueling activities. Nuclear Administrative Procedure NC.NA-AP.22-0015(Q), Safety Tagging Program, step 4.1 requires that the job supervisor ensure that equipment has been appropriately tagged and is safe to work on before beginning a work activity.
Contrary to the above, on April 11-13, 1994, after completion of refueling activities, licensee personnel failed to open the inter-gate drain valve, and performed maintenance on the spent fuel pool gate inner seal without an approved procedure, and manipulated the air supply valves without a tagout.

2 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires, in part, that licensees establish measures to assure that significant conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified, corrected, the cause is determined, and corrective action is taken to preclude repetition..
Contrary to the above, corrective actions implemented for a previous 0ccurrence invoiving mis-operation on the refueling bridge on December 17, 1993 (in which the causal factors were identified as failure to self-check and adhere to procedures) were not effective, in that on March 9~ 1993, the refueling bridge was agaiil mis-operated (i.e., operators inadvertently moved the refueling bridge while the mast was-still extended and grappled to a dummy fuel load) due to failure to self-check and adhere to procedures.
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.
