APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Louisiana Power and Light Company Docket:

50-382 Waterford Unit 3 Permit:

NPF-26 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 11-15, 1985, violations of NRC requirements were identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below:

Inadequate Documentation for EBASCO Safety-Related Ventilation Heating System and Replacement Parts Used With Charcoal Filters 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VII, requires that documentary evidence that material and equipment conform to design procurement requirements on which the plant was licensed shall be available at the nuclear power plant.

Contrary to the above, licensee documentation from the vendor stated that the purchase order requirements were considerably beyond those under which the original equipment was manufactured, though original equipment procure-ment procurement documents contained these requirements. The licensee deleted the design procurement requirements and accepted the replacement parts.

B.

Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."

Contrary to the abr ve, the licensee did not have procedures which:

1.

Verified supplier acceptance of, and certification of compliance (where required), of changes to safety-related purchase orders which affect design or quality.

2.

Required design change review, including 10 CFR 50.59 review, for Purchase Order major exceptions which delete technical or quality requirements contained in Architect Engineer (AE) or other design specifications used to assure the design base upon which the plant J

was licensed.
