9 APPENDIX

.g NOTICE OF VIOLATION Louisiana Power & Light Company Docket: 50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License: HPF-38 EA 89-212 During an NRC investiption completed by NRC's Office of Investigations in September 1989, violations of NRC requirements were identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part *, Appendix C (1989) (Enforcement Policy), the violations are listed below:

s A.

Technical Specification 6.8.1.a reouires, in part, that written procedures shall be maintained for quality related work as recommended in Appendix A of Pegulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Appendix A includes procedures for conduct of maintenance.

j 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, requires in part that conditions adverse to quality be promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above, prior to April 25, 1988, Maintenance Procedure HE-13-100, " Fire Barrier Installation and Rework," was deficient. An inspection hold point was placed in Section 8.2.6 sequenced such that surfaces to be inspected were covered up with sealant, thus 4

preventing the inspection as intended by the procedure.

In addition, this deficiency in the procedure, a condition adverse to quality, was recognized by LP&L personnel but was not promptly corrected.

L This is a Severity Level IV violation.

(SupplementI)

b B.

10 CFR 50.9 requires, in part, that information provided to the Commission by a licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects.

Contrary to the above, information provided to the Comission during a

-June 18-July 31, 1988, inspection at LP&L's.Waterford plant was not

. complete and accurate in all material respects. The information, provided orally in response to an inspector's questions, did not accurately reflect the sequence of quality control inspections of fire seal repair work, and t

was material in that the inspector relied upon the information to bring the matter to a close in an inspection report issued on August 25, 1988.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.
