1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Long Island Power Authority Docket No. 50-322 Shoreham License No. NPF-82 i
During an NRC inspection conducted on May 6-7,1993, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the "Geneml Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
A.
10 CFR Pan 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, requires that measures shall be established for the selection and review for suitability of pans, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components.
Shoreham's Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR), Section 17/2.3, titled Design Control, states, in part, that the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) quality assurance (QA) program requires that design control measures assure that adequate design is incorporated into the procedures and the hardware.
LIPA QA Manual, Section 3, titled Design Control, requires that design control be formulated and implemented for design activities such as the selection of essential pads and equipment, and that reviews to verify their suitability for their intended applications are conducted. Additionally, design change control measures are to be provided to ensure that non safety-related structures, systems, components will continue to be accorded the safety significance given to them in the DSAR.
Contrary to the above, on April 29,1993, measures were not established to assure that the design of the lifting device for the Refueling Jib Crane (RJC) with added counterweight and related rigging was adequate and properly translated into instmetions in the form of sketches and dmwings. Specifically, a documented calculation to obtain the center of gravity of the RJC for its lifting / rigging was not available, and engineering drawings, along with analytical data and explicit instructions on how to obtain the center of gmvity, also were not available.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR Pan 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instmetions, procedures, or drawings, of the type appropriate to the circumstances and be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings are to include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that imponant activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

2 Shoreham's DSAR, Section 17.2.5, states, in pan, that the LIPA QA Program establishes provisions for activities affecting the quality of safety related structures, systems and components during decommissioning to be accomplished and controlled in accordance with instructions and procedun:s.
LIPA Quality Assurance Manual, Section 5, requires that instructions, and procedures invoke appropriate controls and quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria. These criteria require appmpriate documented evidence that activities have been satisfactorily completed. Furthermore, the QA Department is required to verify, by means of review, audit, surveillance and/or inspection, that organizations within their scopes of activities adequately provide and implement instmetions and procedures for their quality-affecting activities.
Contrary to the above. on April 29,1993, a procedure for an activity affecting quality, namely, Procedure No. 35X001.01, " Handling of Heavy Imads with Reactor Building Polar Crane IT31#CRN-002," was neither appropriate to the circumstances nor contained quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining satisfactory accomplishment of an imponant activity, namely the handling and transponation of the Refueling Jib Crane. Specifically, 1.
Instmetional drawings for the heavy load lift of the RJC explaining and giving specific instructions were not pmvided as pan of the procedure, nor had this procedure specified the need for a pre-job briefing. The procedure did not prescribe an engineering walkdown of the load path as a pan of pre-planning nor was an actual engineering walkdown performed before the execution of the lifting and rigging of the RJC. After the lifting and transponation of thejib crane to its parking location, it was found that the alignment pins in the mast baseplate were 90 degrees out of line with the holes in the floor.
2.
Section 8.3 of Procedure No. 35X001.01, titled Fuel Handling Jib Crane, did not provide guidance on how to locate the precise center of gravity to obtain a proper balance during the lifting.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Imng Island Power Authority it is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, XITN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region I, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for 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 funher violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in OFFICIAL RECORD COPY
t 3
this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
