i ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Southern Nuclear Operating Company Docket Nos.:
50-348,50-364 Farley Nuclear Plant License Nos.:
During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted between l
February 10 through March 22, 1993, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

Administrative Procedure FNP-0-AP-5, Surveillance Program Administrative Control, Revision 16, Step 3.4.4, requires tests to be performed as written by qualified personnel. Step 3.4.3, requires notification to the Operations Shift Supervisor of failures to comply with surveillance test acceptance criteria.
Surveillance test procedure FNP-2-STP-45.4, ECCS Valve ISI Test During Cold Shutdown, Revision 7, step 5.8 requires the reactor coolant system hot leg l
isolation valve to be " cycled" (opened then reclosed).
Step 5.9.1 and 5.9.2 requires the opening of the charging pump discharge header isolation valves subsequent to the completion of step 5.8..
Surveillance test procedure FNP-2-STP-33.0A, Solid State Protection System Train A Operability Test, Revision 12, Step 5.7.5, requires the " block-reset" switches for the ' pressurizer pressure safety injection" circuitry and the "steamline pressure safety injection" circuitry to be placed in the " block" position.
A caution statement proceeding step 5.7.6 states that step 5.7.5 must be accomplished before returning the " input error inhibit" switch to the
" normal" position and Step 5.7.6, states that the " input error inhibit" switch l
is to be returned to the " normal" position.
a)
Contrary to the above, on February 2, while operators were conducting FNP-2-STP-45.4, the " operator-at-the-controls" failed to properly follow STP-45.4 in that he opened the charging pump i
discharge header valves (Step 5.9.1 and 5.9.2) prior to closing l
the reactor coolant system hot leg isolation valve (Step 5.8).
This failure resulted in an emergency core cooling system valve j
misalignment and an injection of 1,384 gallons of water into the 1

b)
Contrary to the above, on February 5, while operations was l
performing FNP-2-STP-33.0A; during the performance of step 5.7.5 the operator failed to respond to the " lack of proper illuminated light" feedback indication while placing the " block-reset" switches in the block position.
The operator then proceeded to step 5.7.6 without communicating this observation to other crew 9304130125 930326 PDR ADOCK 05000348 1
