APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company Docket No. 50-309 Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station License No. DPR-36 During an NRC inspection conducted on Sep' ember 17-21, 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 (1993), the violation is stated below:
Technical Specification 5.8.2 states, " Written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities referenced below:
The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory a.
Guide 1.33 (Rev. 2), February 1978."
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Step 9.8 states, in part, " General procedures for the control of maintenance, repair...should be prepared before reactor operation is begun."
Maine Yankee Procedure 5-18-5, Rev. 7, "Limitorque Operator Overhaul (SMB-0 through SMB-4)." Step 5.15.7.9 requires that the torque switch setting be at "I and I" prior to reinstalling the torque switch in the actuator.
Contrary to the above, on September 21,1993, maintenance contract electricians did not reset the torque switch to "I and I" prior to installation, resulting in damage to HSI-M-42 "B" train HPSI header stop, a safety-related valve in the safety injection system.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
