NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket Nos. 50 324 Brunswick Steam Electric Plant License Nos. DPR 62 Unit 2 EA 96 442 During an NRC inspection completed on October 26, 1996, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violations are listed below:
A. Facility 0)erating License Number DPR-62 Section 2.C,1, Maximum Power Level, autlorizes the licensee to operate the facility at steady state reactor core power levels not in excess of 2436 megawatts (Mw) (thermal).
Contrary to the above during the time periods listed below, the licensee failed to operate the facility within steady state reactor core power level limit of 2436 (Mw) (thermal):
Dates Power Level (HW) Percent Power July 5, 1994 thru September 6, 1995 2446 Mw 100.4% Power (including February 26, 1995 at 2460 Mw 101.0% Power)
March 26 thru August 28, 1996 2441 Mw 100.2% Power (including April 17 thru 26, 1996 at 2492 Mw 102.3% Power and July 19 thru 26,1996 at 2494 Mw 102.4% Power)(01013)
B. Technical Specification 3.2.1 requires in part, that during >ower operation, the AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE (A)LHGR). for each type of fuel as a function of axial location and AVERAGE PLANAR EXPOSURE shall not exceed limits based on applicable APLHGR limit values that have been approved for the respective fuel and lattice type and determined by the approved methodology described in GESTAR II.
Contrary to the above, between December 10 and December 20, 1995, during power o>eration, the licensee failed to maintain the APLHGR within the applica)le approved APLHGR limit values specified in Technical Specification 3.2.1. (01023)
These violations represent a Severity Level III problem (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power & Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington. D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the Dranswick Steam Electric Plant, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for Enclosure 1 961223035u 961213 PDR ADOCK 05000324 G PDR m
i
. i Notice of Violation 2 l l
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 violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply I is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand i i for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, l i suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the
- response time.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Act. 42 U.S.C. 2232, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
Because your res>onse will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to
- the extent possiale, it should not include any personal 3rivacy, proprietary, or i
safeguards information so that it can be placed in the P]R without redaction. ,
However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should j clearly indicate the s)ecific information that you desire not to be placed in I the PDR, and provide t1e legal basis to support your request for withholding the l 4
information from the public. l 1

Enclosure 4 l

! ISSUE TO BE DISCUSSED :
l Facility Operating License Number DPR-62, Section 2,C,1, !
Maximum Power Level, authorizes the licensee to operate i the facility at steady state reactor core power levels not in excess of 2436 megawatts (thermal).
l Technical Specification 3.2.1 requires in part, that during power operation, the AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE (APLHGR), for each type of fuel as a function of axial location, shall not exceed limits based on i applicable approved APLHGR limit values.
! The licensee operated Brunswick Unit 2 at steady state reactor core power levels in excess of the license limit of
- 2436 megawatts (Mw) (thermal) for extended periods of l
time _ Due to an error in the plant process computer j software used for the calculation of core thermal power, i the unit operated in excess of the license limits as follows:
l 7/5/94- 9/6/95 2446 Mw 100.4% Power
- (including 2/26/95 at 2460 Mw 101.0% Power) 3/26/96- 8/28/96 2441 Mw 100.2% Power (including 4/17-26/96 at 2492 Mw 102.3% Power and 7/19-26/96 at 2494 Mw 102.4% Power)
The unit also exceeded the Average Planar Linear Heat
- Generation Rate thermal limit from December 10 through ,
December 20,1995.
NOTE: The apparent violation discussed in this conference
- is subject to further review and is subject to change prior to any resulting enforcement decision.
