AfPENDIX A Notice of Violation Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company Docket No. 50-213 Haddam Neck Plant License No. DPR-61 As a result of the inspection conducted from October 5,1992, through January 5,1993, and in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC_ Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2C, Appendix C, the following violation was identified.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action states in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as

...nonconformances...are corrected."

Revision 15 of the Northeast Utilities Qualit; assurance Program Topical Report, Section 16.1, General Requirements for Corrective Action, requires Northeast Utilities in part to establish an effective corrective action program...and ensure that conditions adverse to quality...are corrected.

Contrary to the above, as of October 8,1992, the licensee's measures to correct conditions adverse to quality were inadequate as evidenced by the disposition of Nonconformance Report (NCR)92-100 to evaluate the condition when motor-operated valve CH-MOV-2928 was subjected to 17,867 pounds of thrust which is in excess of an allowable thrust of 17,199 pounds during a test on February 15,1992. The licensee accepted this condition "as is" based on an existing NUSCO Calculation No.89-092-060- EM, Rev.- 1, dated January.10,1992, which considered the--

maximum allowable thrust of 19,000 pounds for the valve body and not the limit of 14,000 pounds for the actuator which was more limiting.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation. Supplement I.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NITN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to th_e Regional Administrator, Region I and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector-within-30 days of the date if the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation. This reply should include: (1) the reason for the violation, if admitted, or if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved,

-(3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violation, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
