NOTICE OF VIOLATION l l Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. Docket N& 50-424 and 50-425 i Vogtle Electric Generating Plant License Nos. NPF-68 and NPF-81
- Units 1 and 2 During an NRC inspection conducted February 2, 1997, through March 15, 1997, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accon W ce with the
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforunent Actions,"
(NUREG 1600), the violations are listed below:
A. Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requment (SR) 3,7.5,1, Auxiliary Feedwater System, requires that each manual valve in each l water flow path for the three auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps that is l not locked, sealed or otherwise secured in position be verified in the correct position every 31 days.
l Contrary to the above, from October 5, 1996, until February 6, 1997, the l
positions of valves 2-1302-U4-180 through -185 were not verified every 31 days as required. These six valves are in the AFW pump recirculation flow paths.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I). ;
This violation is applicable to Unit 2 only.
l l B. Technical Specification Section 5.4.1.d. Fire Protection Program, states l that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and j maintained covering the fire protection program.
Paragraph 2 G of the operating license for Units 1 and 2 requires the licensee to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection arogram as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (U:SAR).
UFSAR Table 9.5.1-10 Item 1.4.1 states that each required fire detection instrument which is accessible during plant operation shall'be demonstrated operable at least once per 12 months by performance of a trip actuating device operational test.
Procedures 29227-1 and -2, Fire and Smoke Detector Operational Test l
(Panel LZIP 2-1813-03-F27), Revision 1, and 29231-1 and -2, Fire and
! Smoke Detector Operational Test (Panel LZIP 1-1813-03-F31), Revision 2.
require that operational tests on the fire detection panel and fire i detectors be performed once every 24 months on a staggered test basis, l thus implementing the 12-month performance test required by UFSAR i
Table 9.5.1-10.

- Contrary to the above, the time between operational tests for the fire
- detectors supplied by Panels LZIP 1-1813-03-F31 and LZIP 2-1813-03-F27 i exceeded 12 months. Specifically. the time between the February ll, i Enclosure 1 9704220014 970414 ?

Notice of Violation 2
- 1996, and June 17. 1994 tests for Panel LZIP 1-1813-03-F31 was approximately 19 months and 11-days and the time between the January 22.
j 1997, and November 1. 1994, tests for Panel LZIP 2-1813-03-F27 was approximately 25 months and 22 days. .
This is a Severity Level'IV violation (Supplement I)
C. 10'CFR 50.71(e) states, in part, that each person licensed to operate a nuclear power reactor shall update aeriodically the UFSAR to assure that the information included contains t1e latest material developed. The updated UFSAR shall be revised to include the effects of all changes made to the facility and the analysis of new safety issues performed.
Revisions to the UFSAR must be filed annually or six months after each refueling outage provided that the successive updates to the UFSAR does not exceed 24 months.
Procedure 00402-C. Licensing Document Change Request (LDCR),
Revision 15. provides instructions for changes to licensing documents.
(The current 3rocedure is Revision 15: however, the following-requirements lave existed for several years and were in effect on the date when the required UFSAR changes were identified.) Section 2.2 of this procedure requires a form, similar to that of Figure 1 of the procedure, to be used to initiate a change, document the change, and approve requests for changes to-licensing documents. Section 3.3 )
requires the originator of an LDCR to complete applicable portions of the LDCR form, describe the proposed change, provide justification for !
the change and identify other affected documents. Section 3.4 requires the originating department manager to assign a qualified individual to perform the necessary supporting evaluations for the LDCR.
Contrary to the above, required 10 CFR 50 A]pendix R related changes to the UFSAR were identified by the licensee Jut an LDCR form was not initiated by the problem identifiers, su> porting evaluations for the changes were not developed, and the UFSAR was not revised to reflect actual as-built plant conditions related to Appendix R safe shutdown issues. In addition, several other issues were also identified in which an appropriate LDCR form was not 3repared to perform the required safety review and make the appropriate clanges to the UFSAR or cther licensing related documents.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I)
D. 10 CFR 50. Appendix B. Quality Assurance Criteria.Section III. Design l Control, requires the licensee to, in part, provide design control measures for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods or by the performance of a suitable testing program. ;
Enclosure 1 l
Notice of. Violation 3 l Contrary to the above, the licensee did riot verify the adequacy of the Woodward Governor Company (WGC) 701 Digital Speed Control (DSC) design by the performance of an acceptable design review or by the performance !
of a suitable testing program. Several deficiencies had been identified l by vendor program deficiency notices dated September 13. 1993. Also.- '
inconsistencies between the original start up setpoint data, dated September 30, 1994. and setpoints downloaded from the Train 1A diesel generator as.well as DSC calibration constants recorded on March 24, 1 1996, compared to data downloaded from the Train 1A diesel generator '
were noted.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) ;
E. 10 CFR 50. Appendix B. Quality Assurance Criteria.Section XVII. Quality Assurance Records, requires the licensee to in part, maintain records '
to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality. The records shall include at least the following: Operating logs and the results of reviews, inspections. tests, audits.' monitoring of work performance and materials analyses.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to maintain records of ;
safety-related equipment settings and calibration constants under configuration control in that there was no record of accessing the 701 DSC settings since September 30, 1994, resulting in-discrepancies between the current 701 DSC setpoints for the Train 1A Diesel Generator ;
and the setpoints contained in the test data sheets. '
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) i F. 10 CFR 50.59. Changes, tests, and ex)eriments, in part, prohibits, the licensee from making any change whic1 constitutes an unresolved safety question.
Contrary to the above, the licensee's 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation associated with Design Change Package (DCP) 93-V1N0050-0-1 dated February 28. 1994, and supporting documentation did not provide an acceptable basis to conclude that the 701 governor modification does not ;
create a possibility for a malfunction of a different type than any i previously evaluated in the FSAR.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) 4 Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201 Southern Nuclear Operating Company. Inc. is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk.
