NOTICE OF VIOLATICN Northeast Nucicar Energy Company Docket No. 50-245 Millstone Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 License No. DPR-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 19-23, 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:

Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.

In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

Contrary to the above, as of July 23,1993, measures to assure conditions adverse to quality were not taken to promptly correct the deficiency of failure to follow procedures as evidenced by the following: 1) a Notice of Violation was issued to the licensee on December 30,1991, for failure to provide biennial reviews of station procedures as required by administrative procedure ACP-QA-3.02D; and 2) on July 23,1993, it was found that the corrective actions for the above violation were inadequate because more than 200 station procedures still did not receive the required l

biennial review. The number of unreviewed procedures actually increased during the j

past 19 months.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, 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 i

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 further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in 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.
