' identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for:NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violation is' listed below.

10 CFR.Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, the licensee's accepted Quality Assurance Program, and the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), Section 17.2.10, require that a program for the inspection of activities affecting quality be. established and executed by, or for, the organization performing the activity to verify conformance with-the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activity, i

ANSI N45.2.4, 1972 (also designated as IEEE Standard 336-1971), committed to in FSAR Chapter 1.9.30, states that checks and inspections shall be performed to verify the operational readiness and. completeness of components and systems.

Plant procedure 85024-C, Electrical Inspection, implements inspection activities by providing for the establishment and control of Quality Control hold points in work activities.

Procedure step 4.5.3 requires hold' points. for verifying that battery -terminations are tightened or torqued to the values listed in procedure 27915-C.

Contrary to the above, on December 29, 1989, the inspector identified that checks and inspections were not performed to verify the operational readiness and completeness of a safety-related system while conducting repairs on the class 1E 125V DC power system. Plant procedure 85024-C was not.followed in that Quality Control hold points were not established for

' Maintenance Work Order 18905060, which was implementing a temporary modification involving cell jumping. Further review determined that hold points were not being established for any work orders which implemented temporary modifications.

This-is a severity level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, Vogtle, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
