1-i g-4 APPENDIX A-NOTICE OF VIOLATION Northeast Nuclear Energy Company Docket No. 50-423 Millstone Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 License No. NPF-49 As a result of the-inspection conducted on November 28, 1989 - January 4, 1990, and in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy), the following violation was identified:
1, 10 CFR 50.59(a)(1) states, in part.... "The holder of a license authorizing operation of a utilization facility may make changes in the facility as described in the safety analysis report, without prior Commission approval, unless the proposed change involves a change in the. Technical Specifications-incorporated in the license or an unreviewed safety question...." Chapter 9.2 of the Millstone Nuclear. Power Station Unit 3 (Millstone 3) Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) requires the service water booster pumps to start automatically on a loss of offsite-power and supply cooling water to the motor control center and rod control area ventilation unit in service.
2.
Millstone Unit 3 Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be established, implemented and maintained, as recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Service water operating procedure 3326A, a procedure recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, requires the B train of the service water booster pumps to be in operation. Technical Specifi -
cation 6.8.2 states, in part, that changes to each procedure of Specification 6.8.1 snall be reviewed by the PORC/SORC, as appro-priate, and shall be approved by the Unit Superintendent / Station-Superintendent' prior to implementation.
Contrary to 1 and 2 above, on February 25, 1989 the licensee removed the automatic start capability of the service water booster pumps as documented in chapter 9.2 of the FSAR, by tagging out the power supply breakers without determining whether the change involved an unreviewed safety question and without changing the service water operating procedure 3326A.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company is hereby required to submit to this office, within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmits this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and, (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
