l ENCLOSURE 1 l
Duquesne Light Company Docket Nos. 50-334; 50-412 i
Beaver Valley Power Station License Nos. DRP-66; NPF-73 Units 1 and 2 Luring an NRC inspection conducted between April 6 and May 10,1993, two violations of _
.i f
NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and.
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1992), the violations are listed below:
A.
Beaver Valley Unit 1 Technical Specificcion 6.12 requires that any individual permitted to enter high radiation areas in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem /hr but less than 1,000 mrem /hr shall be provided with a radiation l
monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose in the area.
Technical Specification 6.12 requires that high radiation areas in which the intensity '
of radiation is greater than 1,000 mrem /hr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted, and locked doors shall be provided to prevent unauthorized entry.
l Contrary to the above, on April 15, 1993, the requirements of Technical Specification -
- i 6.12 were not satisfied as evidenced by the following examples:
i 1)
Two operators entered the 'A' penetration room, which was conspicuously l
posted as a high radiation area, without a radiation monitoring device.
2)
Two operators entered the 'C' reactor pump cubicle and left the entry way door full open such that the high radiation area, in which the intensity of radiation was greater than 1,000 mR/hr, was no longer barricaded, conspicuously posted, or locked.
. j This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
B.
10 CFR 50, ' Appendix B, Criterion XVI, requires that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
j This requirement is implemented by Section 16 of Duquesne Light Company's Quality Assurance Policy, Revision 3.
j Contrary to the above, on October 29,1992, measures to assure prompt correction of 1
a condition adverse to quality were not taken when work.ers identified a missing pipe support bracket for the 21B high head safety injection pump lube oil system in Unit 2.'
A maintenance work request was generated to correct the condition; however, actual
'j correction did not occur until April 15, 1993, following the discovery of a similar t
condition on the 21C high lead safety injection pump by NRC inspectors.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
