ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Company Docket Nos. 50-424, 50-425 Vogtle License Nos, hPF-68, NPF-81 During the Nuclear Regulatory Conunission (NRC) inspection conducted on October 30 - November 3,1989 and November 13-17, 1989, 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 (1989),theviolationislistedbelow:

Technical Specification 4.4.4.1 requires each Power Operated Relief Valve (PORV) to be demonstrated operable at least once every 10 months by perfonnance of a channel calibration and operating the valve through one cycle of full travel.

A channel calibration is required to encomp. ass the entire channel including sensors and alarm, interlock and/or trip functions such that the entire channel is calibrated.

Contrary to the above, PORV channel calibrations did not fully test the portions of both the PORV channels that actuate automatically on a pressurizer high pressure signal.

As such, the entire PORY channel was not calibrated.

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

Since the corrective actions for this issue have been fully discussed and have been satisfactorily corrpleted, a response to the Notice of Violation is not required.
