NOTICE OF VIOLATION North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation Docket No. 50-443 Seabrook Station, Unit 1 License No. NPF-86 During an NRC inspection conducted from June 15 to July 26,1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

Seabrook Station Technical Specification Section 6.7.1 requires that procedures shall be implemented covering activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Appendix A in Regulatory Guide 1.33, 1 Step 1.d specifies that an administrative procedure for procedural adherence be i established and implemented. The Seabrook Station Management Manual Section 5.2 specifies that all personnel performing work shall comply with written instructions.

The following are two examples where procedures were not implemented as required or delineated in the respective procedure sections listed below:

a. Maintenance Procedure MA 3.1, Step 4.1.2 specifies that when the scope of the work request changes after the work has been released, the person making the change shall receive concurrence from the system engineer, the quality control inspector, and the unit shift supervisor. The changes shall be documented on the work request.

Contrary to the above, when performing maintenance on containment isolation valve SB-V9 on June 17, 1993, maintenance workers identified the need for and installed an electrical jumper without performing a work request scope change. Consequently, on June 18,1993, the valve inadvertently closed during restoration from the work.

b. Maintenance Procedure LS0564.19, Step 8.14.2.4 specifies to increase the ,

torque on the pipe plug until the limit switch lever on main steam isolation l valve (MSIV) 88 is tight.

Contrary to the above, on October 22,1992, maintenance workers signed that ,

Step 8.14.2 had been completed when the pipe plug had not been tightened. (

Consequently, on May 20,1993, MSIV-88 failed its routine operability surveillance test. l i

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