APPENDIX A AMENDED NOTICE OF VIOLATION 80ston Edison Company M/C Nuclear Docket No. 50-293 EA-80-38 Based on the results of aq NRC inspection conducted during the period of March 3 - 21, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC regulations and the conditions of your license, DPR-35.

On July 8, 1980, a Notice of Violation (Appendix A) and a Notice of Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties (Appendix B) were served upon you identifying the apparent noncompliances and requiring you to respond.

On August 1, 1980, you responded to these Notices.

Upon consideration of your response, Item. IIA of the Notice of Violation is withdrawn.

However, based.

upon the information contained in your response'and our additional evaluation, it appears that an additional noncompliance occurred, as indicated below.

Technical Specification 6.8.A states-in part, " Written procedures and.

administrative policies shall be established, implemented and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Sections 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7 - 1972 and Appendix "A" of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33...."

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Procedure 4.3, " Fuel Handling", Rev. 16, in effect on March 8, 1980, required that " fuel movement may not begin until the 'on-duty' Watch Engineer gives his consent."

Contrary to the above, on March 8,1980, a Senior Reactor Operator undertook fuel movement without the consent of the "on-duty" Watch Engineer.

This is an infraction. ~(Civil Penalty - $4,000)

This Amended Notice of Violation is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

You are hereby required to submit to this office within twenty-five days of the date of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each item of noncompliance:
