NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos.

50-295; 50-304 i

Zion Nuclear Generating Station License Nos. DPR-39; DPR-48 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 24, 1993, through January 6, j

1994, 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:

i Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix B, l

Criterion XI, " Test Control" requires, in part, that tests be performed in accordance with test procedures which incorporate the requirements and i

acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents.

It further j

requires that test results be evaluated to ensure that test requirements are satisfied.

i Contrary to the above, as identified on November 24, 1993, the procedure chosen to monitor the degraded IC containment spray pump starting times l

(PT-6C-ST " Containment Spray C Pump System Tests and Checks") did not contain i

any requirements or acceptance criteria to evaluate the acceptability of starting time delays.

Furthermore, again as identified on November 24, 1993, the test results for the July 28, 1993, test of the IC containment spray pump, i

i were not evaluated to ensure that pump starting time requirements were met j

before declaring the pump operable.

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

i Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
