l ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Company Docket No. 50-424 Vogtle Unit 1 License No. NPF-68 During the NRC inspection conducted on April 18 - May 8,1993, a violation of l

NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, i

the violation is listed below.

Technical Specification 6.7.la requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering activities delineated in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, February 1978, delineates the types of t

safety-related activities that should be covered by written procedures for startup, operation, shutdown, and procedures for performing maintenance.

Procedure 13503-1, Reactor Control Solid-State Protection System, provides instructions on how to energize and de-energize the Solid State Protection System.

j Contrary to the above, procedure 13503-1 was inadequate, in that it did not contain appropriate instructions to operators that Bypass / Permissive light board indications may not reflect actual safety injection block conditions when the Solid State Protection System is in Test. The failure to incorporate this guidance contributed to a safety injectior.

and an unnecessary challenge to core safety systems.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (Unit 1 only).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Power Company is hereby l

required to submit a written statement of explanation to the U. S. Nuclear l

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D. C. 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC t

Resident Inspector Vogtle Nuclear Plant, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be r

clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for i

each violation:

(1) the reason for the violation, or if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be i

proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be i

given to extending the response time.
