I APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Jersey Central Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-219 Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station License No. DPR-16 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 30, 1981 to April 3, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified:
A.
10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) states, in part, that:
"Throughout the service life of a.
. nuclear power facility, components.
.shall meet tne requirements... set forth in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code..."
Section XI of the ASME B&PV Code, Subarticle IWP-3100, Inservice Test Procedure, states, in part, that:
(1)
"An inservice test shall be conducted with the pump operating..
.at a speed adjusted to the reference speed for variable speed drives."
(2)
"In variable resistance systems, the resistance of the system shall be varied until either the measured differential pressure or the measured flowrate shall equal the corresponding reference value."
(3) " Test quantities shown in Table IWP-3100-1 shall be measured or observed."
(4) "Each measured test quantity shall then be compared to the re-ference value of the same quantity. Any deviations determined shall be compared to the limits given in Table IWP-3100-2 and the specified corrective action taken."
Contrary to the above, as of April 3, 1981, required pump operability tests were performed using procedures which did not conform to Section XI of the ASME B&PV Code. Test records reviewed indicated that the latest tests performed, using procedures 610.4.002, 612.4.001, 642.4.001, and. 645.4.001 on February 19, 1981, March 1, 1981, March 18, 1981, and F2bruary 10, 1981 respectively, did not conform to the above requirements in that:

Appendix A 2
'(1) The Fire P ops are engine' driven with variable speed potential and Test Pr)cedure 645.4.001 does not establish a fixed reference speed as re:1uired by IWP-3100.
(2) The Core Spray, Liquid Poison, Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water, and Fire Protection are variable resistance systems and the applicable Pump Operability Test Procedures 610.4.002, 612.4.001, 642.4.001, and 645.4.001 do not specify that the resistance be varied to equal an established reference value for differential pressure or flowrate as required by IWP-3100.
(3) The test procedures noted above do not address all test quantities required to be measured or observed.
-(4) The test procedures noted above do not establish reference values or allowable limits for measured quantities in accordance with Table IWP-3100-2.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement I)
B.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII states, in part, " Measures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning, and preservation of materials and equipment...to prevent damage or deterioration."
"JCP&L Operational Quality Assurance Manual" requires that procedures be developed, approved, and implemented to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning and preservation of materials and equipment using the guidance provided by ANSI N 45.2.2.
The following discrepancies were in noncompliance to the requirements of ANSI N 45.2.2 and are collectively considered examples of a single violation:
(1) ANSI N 45.2.2, section 6.4.2, (1), requires that " Items in storage shall have all covers, caps, plugs or other closures intact" and section 6.2.4 prohibits "The use or storage of food, drinks...
in any storage area."
Contrary to the above, pipes and valves were found with broken or missing caps or plugs and a soft drink container was found in the Level B storage area.
(2) ANSI N 45.2.2, section 3.2 requires that for items in storage
" Weld and preparations shall be protected against corrosion and physical damage."
Contrary to the above, four large (approx. 8" diameter) stainless steel pipe sections were found stored on a pallet, in the Level B storage area, with the weld preps on both ends of each section left unprotected.

Appendix A 3
9 (3) ANSI N 45.2.2, section 6.2.2 requires that " Cleanliness and good housekeeping shall be enforced at all times in the storage areas.
The storage areas shall be cleaned as required to avoid the accumulation of trash, discarded packaging materials and other
. detrimental soil."
Contrary to the above, the Level B storage area floor and shelves are coated with a layer of what appears to be cement dust or fiberglass powder.
This is a Severity Level V Violation.
