Q... '

l ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River License No. DPR-72 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on September 7-8, 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In q

accordance with the " General Statement of-Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violation is listed j

below:

Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as implemented by-FSAR, Chapter 17, Section 17.1.16 states in part:

" Measures shall be 1

established-to assure that conditions adverse to quality.... are promptly identified and corrected.

In the case of significant conditions j

ddverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition. "

l Contrary to the above, corrective action for a known problem did not preclude repetition.

In January 1988, the test profile run for the "A"

.I Station Battery was found to be invalid.

However, on August 31, 1989, the test profile for the station battery "B", was found to be invalid for similar reasons.

In 1985, the load profile for the "A" station battery, indicated that the

. D.C. main generator hydrogen seal oil pump. TBP-10, sequenced on at 60 minutes.

In January of 1988, it was discovered that the D.C. main generator hydrogen seal oil pump, TBP-10, was analyzed to sequence at 0-3 minutes and that the pump would actually start upon loss of offsite power (T=0).

Analysis of February of 1988 revealed that the capacity of the battery was not exceeded.

A'similar event was identified by the licensee.

While reviewing the performance of the "B" station battery and its chargers during the loss of offsite power event of June 16, 1989, discovered that the in use testing load profile was in error.

The D.C. main generator hydrogen seal nil pump, TBP-10, for the main generator, could be sequenced on earlier than analyzed in the design calculations.

This error resulted in the station battery test being invalid.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power Corporation is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Creunission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy 8912190397 891128 gDR ADOCK0500g2
