ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station Docket Nos: 50-272 50-311 License Nos: DPR-70 DPR-75 Units 1 and 2 During an NRC inspection conducted on April 27, 1997 to June 21, 1997, 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:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that licensees shall promptly identify and correct conditions adverse to quality, and for significant conditions adverse to quality, the licensee shall also determine the cause, take action to preclude repetition, document the corrective action, and notify appropriate levels of management.
Contrary to the above, the Salem staff did not promptly identify, correct, determine the cause, notify appropriate levels of management, or initiate corrective action to preclude recurrence for the following conditions:
1.
Operators failed to promptly identify, determine the cause, notify appropriate levels of management, or initiate corrective actions for recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality consisting of discrepancies between the actual condition of valves and circuit breakers and the condition indicated in the Tagging Request and Inquiry System.
- 2.
Maintenance technicians failed to complete all ultra-sonic examinations specified in a work order for degraded auxiliary feedwater alternate supply piping, or to insure proper disposition of an examination result that did not meet the acceptance criteria for wall thickness.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1 ).
- 8.
10 CFR 71.5 requires that each licensee who transports licensed material or delivers licensed material to a carrier for transport, shall comply with applicable DOT regulations in 49 CFR parts 170 through 189 appropriate to the mode of transport.
49 CFR 172.203(d)(11) requires that for a shipment of low specific activity material, the appropriate group notation of LSA-1, LSA-11, or LSA-111 shall be indicated on the shipping papers.
Contrary to the above, since April 1, 1996 through June 9, 1997, the licensee has conducted multiple laundry shipments without specification of the LSA group indicated on the shipping papers.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement V).
