... w MAY 3 01985 ENCLOSUilE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket No. 50-413 Catawba License No. NPF-35 The following violations were identified during an inspection conducted on April 25, 1985. The Severity Levels were assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).

1. Technical Specification (TS) 3.0.4 states that entry into an Operational Mode or other specified condition shall not be made unless the conditions i for the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met without reliance on provisions contained in the action requirements. TS 3.4.1.4.2 requires two residual heat removal (RHR) loops to be operable and at least one loop in operation when in Mode 5 with the reactor coolant loops not filled.

Contrary to the above, two RHR loops were not operable when the plant entered a condition of Mode 5 with reactor coolant loops not filled, in that on April 20, 1985, loop 1A of RHR was declared inoperable and reactor coolant loops were drained on April 22, 1985, while the RHR loop was still in an inoperable status.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) applicable to Unit 1.

2. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI and Duke Power Company QA Topical Report, " Quality Assurance Program," Duke-1-A (Amendment 7), Section 17.2.11, require that test results be evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I) applicable to Unit 1.
