APPENDIX A
Boston Edison Company
Docket No. 50-293
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station
License No. DPR-35
As a result of the inspection conducted on June 13, 1985 - July 15, 1985, and in
accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following
violations were identified:
A.
Technical Specification 6.8 requires in part that procedures be established,
implemented and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements of Section
5.1 of ANSI N18.7-1972.
Section 5.1 of ANSI N18.7-1972 requires that proce-
dures be instituted for surveillance testing.
In addition, Technical Speci-
fication 4.9.A.2 requires that pilot cells in the station batteries be tested
for specific gravity, voltage, and temperature at a frequency of once per-week.
Contrary to the above, on June 2,1985, procedures were not established and
maintained for surveillance testing of the station 250 V battery.
As a result,
pilot cell specific gravity, voltage, and temperature were not tested between
May 26, 1985 and June 9, 1985.
In addition, portions of surveillance test
Procedure No. 8.C.14 for the station batteries were not implemented on the
following occasions:
On June 9 and 23, 1985, battery temperatures above procedural acceptance
--
criteria were logged and accepted without recognizing that acceptance
criteria were exceeded, therefore, no foll'owup actions were taken.
On June 9, 1985, voltage levels for the 017-125V and D10-250V distribu-
--
tion buses were not logged on the procedural check list as required by
the procedure.
On July 9, 1985, the voltage level for the D17-125V distribution bus was
--
incorrectly entered on the procedural check list.
On July 6 and 13, 1985, battery cells in the 125V (B) and 250V station
--
batteries with the lowest specific gravities were not chosen pilot cells
for testing as required by the procedure.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
B.
Technical Specification 6.8 requires in part that procedures be implemented
which meet or exceed the requirements of Appendix "A" of USNRC Regulatory
Guide 1.33.
Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires that procedures for radiation work
permits be instituted.
Procedure No. 6.1-022, " Radiation Work Permit", re-
quires in part that both a comprehensive radiation survey frequency and a high
t
radiation area surveillance frequency be specified on work permits. In addi-
tion, Technical Specification 6.13 requires that high radiation area surveil-

,
lance frequencies be entered on radiation work permits, if individuals in high
radiation areas are not provided with either a continuously indicating radi-
ation instrument or an integrating, alarming dosimeter.
Contrary to the above, on July 3, 1985, radiation work permits which required
periodic radiation surveillance for high radiation areas did not specify high
l
radiation area surveillance frequencies.
i
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
Pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 2.201, Boston Edison Company is hereby required
.
to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which trans-
!
mitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including (1) the
corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved;'(2) corrective
steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full
compliance will be achieved.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be
given to extending this response time.
