APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION i

Duquesne Light Company Docket No. 50-334 Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 License No. DPR-66 l

' As a result of the inspection conducted on October 1 - 31, 1985, and in accor-dance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register on March 8, 1984 (47 FR 8583), the following violations were identified:

A. 10 CFR 20.408, Reports of Personnel Monitoring on Termination of Work, requires the licensee to report an individual's exposure to radiation and radioactive material incurred during the period of employment or work as-signment in the licensee's facility, within 30 days after the exposure has been determined or within 90 days after the date of termination, whichever is earlier.

Contrary to the above, the termination exposure reports for two contractor radiation workers who terminated employment at Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 on May 5 and May 30, 1985, were not issued until the omission was discovered on September 30, 1985.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

B. The BVPS Operations Quality Assurance Program, Section A.2.2.5, Instruc-tions, Procedures and Drawings, and ANSI N18.7-1972, Administrative Con-trol for Nuclear Power Plants, require the establishment and implemen-tation of equipment control procedures to avoid unauthorized operation of equipment. These procedures shall include control measures such as locking or tagging to secure and identify equipment in a controlled status.

Operating Manual Chapter 1.48 specifies the methods for placing equipment on clearance, including the use of tags and locks. Operating Manual Table 48.6, Safety Related Systems and Procedures, identifies the Boron Recovery System as being under this jurisdiction.

Contrary to the above, the accidental and unauthorized operation of an unlocked and untagged Unit 1/2 boron recovery system boundary isolation valve, BR-79, which was on clearance, resulted in the unmonitored release of several hundred gallons of radioactive liquid from the boric acid hold tank on October 31, 1985.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Duquesne Light Company is hereby required to submit to this Office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted 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.
