a APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION l

a Public Service Company of Colorado Docket:

50-267 Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station License:

DPR-34 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 29, 1989, a violation of NRC t

requirements was identified.

The violation involved blocked-open fire doors, In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C (1989) (Enforcement Policy),

the violation is listed below:

Inoperable Fire Door 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, paragraph III.N. " Fire Doors," requires, in 3

part, that fire doors be self-closing or provided with closing mechanisms.

Additionally, fire doors are to be kept closed or provided with automatic release mechanisms.

The licensee's fire protection program plan as stated in Fire Protection Operability Requirement FPOR-14 requires, in part, that a continuous fire watch be established for fire doors that are opened for more than 20 minutes at a time.
