APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos: 50-272 50-311 License Nos: DPR-70 DPR-75 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 11 1996 to September 14, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part, that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected, and in the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the cause of the condition shall be documented, appropriately reported to levels of management, and action taken to preclude repetition.
A.
Contrary to the above, a significant condition adverse to quality existed at Salem Unit 2 facility from December 6, 1995 through December 8, 1995, in that operators did not insure that the reactivity requirements of Technical Specification 3.9.1 had been met prior to entering mode 6. On December 7, 1995, an operator identified and documented the failure to meet Technical Specification 3.9.1 requirements, however, the licensee failed to take action to preclude repetition.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1 ).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Pubic Service Electric and Gas Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (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 that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand.for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC PDR, to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. If personal privacy or proprietary information is 9610080262 961001 PDR ADOCK 05000272 G
2 necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the.information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim of withholding (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2. 790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information). If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
