APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Long Island Lighting Company Docket'No. 50-322 Shoreham Nuclear Power Station License No. CPPR-95 As a result of an inspection conducted on April 26-29, 1932, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, General' Policy and Procedure for Enforcement Actions, 47 FR 9987 (March 9,1982), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XII, requires measures to be established to assure that measuring and test devices used in activities affecting quality are properly calibrated to maintain accuracy within necessary limits.
LILCO Startup Manual, Section 4.4.3, requires individual instrument calibrations to be performed using either approved station procedures or manufacturer's technical manual, and, if this cannot be done, the calibration is to be performed by the manufacturer or an approved testing laboratory whose standards are traceable to the National Bureau of Standards.
Contrary to the above, on April 28, 1982, Flow Measuring and Test Equipment Panel 42-4, used for the Local Leak Rate Testing of Primary Containment Isolation Valve MOV-031C, was not properly calibrated, in that:
1.
Original records of calibration either by the licensee, the manufacturer, or an approved testing laboratory were not available at the site as of the date of the test.
2.
Instead of the required calibration, an " accuracy check" was performed periodically using a procedure which was not approved as of the date of the test.
3.
PT. 654.003,."evision 1, Primary Containment Leak Rate Test - Type C, the procedure used for the testing of MOV-031C, requires in Steps 3.3 and 8.6 that certain corrections be applied to the test results if the temperature or pressure of air used for the test differs from the temperature or pressure of air used for the calibration. The " accuracy check" had no provisions for recording the calibration temperature.
It was further determined that all other Flow Measuring and Test Equipment Panels used for Local Leak Rate Tests performed prior to April 28, 1982, were not properly calibrated.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement II) applicable to CPPR-95.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Long Island Lighting Company is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:
(1) the corrective OFFICIAL RECORD COPY 8206170214 820524 PDR ADOCK 0D0003P2 O

steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken te avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Under the authority or' Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending your response time.
