SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-445/93-22; 50-446/93-22 (NOTICE OF

VIOLATION)

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W. B. Jones, and the inspectors

identified in the enclosed report, of this office, on April 28 through May 29,

1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized for the

!

Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, facility. At the

conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with you and those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

,

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.

Within

>

these areas the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

,

activities in progress.

The purpose of the inspection was to determine

whether activities authorized by the licensee were conducted safely and in

accordance with NRC requirements.

'

Based on the results of this inspection, certain licensed activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). The violation is of concern because a preventive

maintenance task was not performed on safety-related equipment for a period in

excess of twice the established frequency and a required technical evaluation

l

t

was not performed to assess the effect on the equipment.

Your staff indicated

that the safety significance of deferring the preventive maintenance task was

minor.

However, in assessing the overall significance of the violation we

noted that an April 1993 technical evaluation identified a programmatic

weakness with the preventive maintenance process which contributed to the

current deficiency and no corrective actions were implemented.

l

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence.

After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy

!

of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document

Room.

l

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget, as

to discuss them with you.
