ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos. 369 and 370 McGuire Units 1 and 2 License Nos. NPF-9 and NPF-17 During a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducud from July 18, 1993, through August 21, 1993, two violations of NRC requirements were identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:

A.

10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires written J

procedures to be developed and implemented for safety-related activities.

Contrary to the above, surveillance procedures PT/1/A/4350/36A and l

PT/1/A/4350/36B were not revised to incorporate changes to Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.e(8), which resulted in the licensee's use of an inadequate test procedure to conduct the hot restart test for the 1A diesel generator on May 25, 1993, and the IB diesel generator on April 16, 1993. The licensee did not conduct the hot restart tests immediately after the 24-hour run; nor did the licensee conduct the hot restart tests in a manner by which required data could be obtained for meeting test acceptance criteria, as was required by the amended Technical Specification.

This is a Severity Level IV (Supplement I) violation and applies i

to Unit 1 only.

B.

. Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February, 1978.

i Contrary to the above, plant personnel failed to implement the procedural requirements provided for:

1)

Fuel reconstitution activities. On July 21, 1993, contractor personnel failed to follow procedural requirements for handling fuel rods during reconstitution activities, which resulted in a severely bent fuel rod and i

subsequent challenge to the fuel cladding integrity.

2)

Replacement of Unit 2 emergency diesel generator potential transformer fuses. On July 31, 1993, licensee personnel failed to follow instructions in an approved work order, which resulted in an inadvertent actuation of the train B engineered safety features systems.

l This is a Severity Level IV (Supplement 1) violation and applies to Unit 2 only.
