l APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Philadelphia Electric Compady Docket No. 50-278 Peach Bottea Unit 3 License lio. DPR-56 As a result of the inspection conducted on September 4 - October 6,1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states, in part:
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures or drawings.
Instructions, procedures or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
The licensee's accepted Quality Assurance Plan, Revision 4, dated January 1980, Section 5, " Instructions, Procedures and Drawings," states, in part:
"Activi-ties affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, proce-dures...of a type appropriate to the circumstances... The activity may be prescribed in... operating or procedure manuals... Quantitative criteria, such as... operating limits...shall be specified."
Contrary to the above, procedures governing plant operations in the refuel or cold shutdown conditions.were inadcquate in that: there were no instructions specifying allowable temperatures for pressurization of reactor vessel; main-tenance of eactor water. vessel level; or maintaining vent paths with various reactor vessel water levels. This failure to provide adequate instructions contributed to pressurization of the reactor vessel to 78 psi with a tempera-ture less than 1200F on September 28,1981,1200F is the minimum temperature allowable for pressurization of the reactor vessel specified in Technical Specification Figures 3.6.1 and 3.6.2.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I) applicable to DPR-56.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Philadelphia Electric Company is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this flotice, a written statement or explanation in reply including:
(1) the corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and. (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending your response time.
