ENCLOSURE 1

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Mississippi Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-416

Grand Gulf License No. NPF-29

The following violation was identified during an inspection conducted on

July 29 - August 2, 1985. The Severity Level was assigned in accordance with the

NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, and the accepted QA program,

MPL-TOP-1A, require establishing measures to assure that conditions adverse

to quality are promptly identified and corrected. The accepted QA program

commits to Regulatory Guide 1.33 which endorses ANSI N18.7-1976, Administra-

tive Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear

Power Plants. Section 5.2.16 of this standard states that an evaluation

shall be made concerning the validity of previous tests and the accepta-

bility of devices previously tested from the time of the previous

calibration when calibration, testing, or other measuring devices are

found out of calibration.

Contrary to the above, adequate measures have not been established to assure

that these evaluations are properly performed. The following example was

identified:

Measures did not exist to assure timely completion of the evaluations.

Since December, 1984, approximately 55 and 35 percent of the evalua-

tions have rot been completed within one and two months, respectively.

Several outstanding evaluations had been open for greater than six

months.

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

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within 30

days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply,

including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged violation; (2) the reasons for

the violation if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the

results achieved; (4) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further

violations;~and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Security or safeguards inform & tion should be submitted as an enclosure to

facilitate withholding it from public disclosure as required by 10 CFR 2.790(d)

or 10 CFR 73.21.
