I NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES l
Carolina Power and Light Company Docket Nos. 50 325, 50 324 i Brunswick Nuclear Plant License Nos. DPR-71, DPR 62 EA 96 354 As a result of an NRC inspection completed on September 17, 1996, violations )
of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions", NUREG 1600, the NRC proposes to impose civil penalties pursuant to Section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (Act) 42 U.S.C. 2282, and 10 CFR 2.205.
The particular violations and associated civil penalties are set forth below:
A. 10 CFR 50.49 (d) requires, in part, the licensee to prepare a list of electric equipment important to safety covered by 10 CFR 50.49 (b), and include information concerning performance specifications, electrical characteristics and environmental conditions for this electric equipment in a qualification file: and, keep the list and information in the file ,
current and retain the file in auditable form for the entire period 1 during which the covered item is installed in the plant or is stored for future use. l 10 CFR 50.49 (f) requires, in part, that each item of electric equipment important to safety be qualified by testing of, or experience with, 4 identical or similar equipment, and that such qualification shall include a supporting analysis to show that the equipment to be qualified is acceptable.
10 CFR 50.49 (j) requires, in part, a record of the qualification in auditable form to permit verification that each item is qualified and meets its specified performance requirements under predicted environmental conditions.
10 CFR 50.49 (k) states that electric equipment important to safety which was previously required to be qualified in accordance with NRC's
" Guidelines for Evaluating Environmental Qualification of Class 1E Electrical Equipment in Operating Reactors " November 1979 (Division of Operating Reactors (DOR) Guidelines), need not be requalified to 10 CFR 50.49. However. 00R Guidelines require that the radiation service condition include the sum of the gamma and beta doses unless it can be shown by assuming a conservative unshielded surface beta dose of 2.0 X 10E8 RADS and considering shielding factors, that the beta dose to radiation sensitive equipment internals would be less than or equal to 10 percent of the total gamma dose to which an item of equipment has been cualified. The D0R Guidelines further require that qualification recorcs be complete and auditable for qualification to be considered valid.
