Senior Vice President
Nuclear Power Division
Duquesne Light Company
Post Office Box 4
Shippingport, Pennsylvania 15077
Dear Mr. Sieber:
SUIUECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS.50-334/93-26
AND 50-412/93-28)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. L. Rossbach, P. Sena, and S. Greenlee of
this office from October 26 to November 27,1993. The inspection included a review of
activities authorized for the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pennsylvania. At
the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with Messers. D. Spoerry,
'
G. Thomas, and other members of your staff.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. The inspection consisted
of document reviews, interviews, and observation of activities important to public health and
safety. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by the
license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC reqairements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The first
violation involves multiple examples of procedure violations by operators. All but one cf
these examples were self-identified by your staff, and taken individual'.y, each is of minor
safety significance. Nevertheless, this violation is being cited because the presence of
multiple examples and previous cittd and non-cited procedural violations indicates the need
for additional corrective actions. The second violation involves the failure of an instrument
due to inadequate installation specifications. This is of concern because your design controls
should ensure that qualification test conditions are properly translated into installation
specifications.
Also, a non-cited violation was identified for not developing several alarm response
procedures. This violation is not being cited because of its minor safety significance and
your corrective actions.
