Appendix A

Notice of Violation

Philadelphia Electric Company Docket No. 50-352

Limerick Generating Station, Unit 1 License No. NPF-27

As a result of the inspection conducted on March 16 - April 30,1985, and in

accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) publisi.ed in

the Federal Register (49 FR 8583) dated March 8,1984, the following violation

was identified:

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that plant administrative procedures

be maintained including those procedures governing the review of safety-

related procedures by the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC).

Administrative Procedure A-4 implements the licensee's program for the

review of procedures by PORC. A-4 includes an option for the use of a

PORC. Subcommittee to conduct the review provided the PORC Subcommittee

Chairman has determined that an adequate cross-discipline review capabi-

lity for the specific procedure is present within the Subcommittee.

Contrary to the above, an adequate cross-discipline review capability did

not exist in the PORC Subcommittee convened to review revision 2 to ST-5-

048-800-1, "SBLC Sodium Pentaborate Concentration Analysis," in that the

Subcommittee was comprised of chemistry department personnel without input

from any other plant staff organization. Subsequently, the procedure was

determined to be inadequate because it did not consider the effect of the

low tank water level pump trip setpoint in determining the total available

volume in the standby liquid content tank.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Philadelphia Electric Company is

hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the

letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in

reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the

results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further

violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good

cause is shown, consideration will be give to extending this response time.
