APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Philadelphia Electric Company Docket No.
50-278 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station License No. DPR-56 As a result of the inspection conducted on August 31, 1981 to September 8, 1981 and in'accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Section IV.A, requires that any modification or replaceme'nt of a component which is part of the primary reacto containment boundary be followed by a leakage test as applicable for the area affected.
Administrative Procedure A-26, Procedure.for Corrective Maintenance, requires that sufficient post repair tests be performed to assure that the equipment has been returned to-a fully operable condition.
Contrary to the above, pressure transmitter PT-3-5-12C, which is a part of the primary reactor containment boundary, was disassembled for maintenance on August 19, 1981 and not leak tested to prove its conta'nment leak-tight integrity function.
Leakage from this' instrument subsequently contributed to the failure of the Containment-Integrated Leak Rate Test to meet its acceptance criteria on September 4,1981.
. This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
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 Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:
