APPENDIX A-

Boston Edison Company
Docket No. 50 293
Piigrim Nuclear Power Station
License No. DPR-59
During an NRC inspection conducted from Novemoer 2 - 6,1992, violations of NRC
requirements were identified. In accordance with the, " General Statement of Policy and
Procedures for NRC Er.forcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990), the
violations are listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, requires that neasures shall be established
to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, deficiencies, defective
material and equipment, are promptly identified and corrected. Boston Edison
Company (BECo) Fire Protection Program, NOP83FP1, requires that the fire -
protection program be periodically audited. The BECo Quality Assurance Program
Sections 2.5.6,16 and 16.2.4 require that audit deficiencies be reported to responsible
management. Conditions adverse to quality shall be corrected and that such
corrective shall be timely.
Contrary to the above actions were not taken in a timely manner to correct audit
findings and other conditions adverse to quality as evidenced by the following
examples:
A lack of required fireproofing material on structural steel in some areas of the
Reactor Building was identified by Quality Assurance Deficiency 1306,
October 24,1984. The same deficiency was also identified in Audits No. 90-
30, December 5,1990, and 91-45, January 9,1992. Corrective action was
not taken to repair this deficiency until November 5,1992, after it was again
brought to your attention during our inspection.
In June 1988, an engineering service request (ESR 88-407) was issued
j
identifying a broken sight glass on the diesel fire pump fuel oil day tank which
L
was also identified in Maintenance requests 88-33-51 and 88-33-161. Audit
No. 90-30, December 5,1990, further identified that tne design of the day
'
tank sight glass was not in accordance with the design requirements of the
National Fire Protection Code No. 20. To date, no corrective action has been
'
taken to bring the tank volume measurement system into NFPA code design.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).
