NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power' Corporation Docket Nos. 50-424, 50-425 ,

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License Nos. NPF-68, NPF-81 i

During an NRC inspection conducted on November 29-December 3, 1993, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General  :

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFP, part 2,  !

Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 55.25 states "If, during the term of the (an operator's) license, the licensee develops a physical or mental condition that causes the licensee to fail to meet the requirements of 9 55.21 of this part, the '

facility licensee shall notify the Commission within 30 days of learning of the diagnosis. For conditions for which a conditional license (as described in 9 55.33(b) of this part) is requested, the facility licensee  ;

shall provide medical certification on Form NRC 396 to the Commission (as described in s 55.23 of this part)." Also, 10 CFR 50.74 states "Each (facility) licensee shall notify the Commission in accordance with 9 50.4 within 30 days of the following in regard to a licensed operator or-senior operator: ...(c) Disability or illness as described in f 55.25 of this chapter."

Contrary to the above, on February 16, 1993 the facility licensee's ,

physician made the determination that-an operator's license should have been conditioned "no solo" because the operator did not meet the standards specified above. Subsequently, the facility licensee failed to notify the Commission of the change in medical status of this operator within 30 days as required by 10 CFR 55.25 and 10 CFR 50.74.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VII.D)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Power Corporation is'hereby .

required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555, ,

with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC l 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).

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 Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
