NOTICE OF VIOLATION 1

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company Docket No. 50 395 V. C. Summer Nuclear Station License No. NPF 12 During an NRC inspection conducted on December 29, 1996, through February 8. I 1997, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," I NUREG 1600, the violations are listed below:

)

A. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1, Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation, requires that each ESFAS instrumentation channel and interlock and the automatic actuation logic and relays shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of the ESFAS instrumentation surveillance requirements specified in Table 4.3 2.

Table 4.3 2, Item 6b, Emergency Feedwater, requires a quarterly Steam Generator (SG) low low actuation slave relay test in Modes 1, 2, and 3 to verify operability.

Contrary to the above, between June 28, 1994 and December 2, 1996, the Emergency Feedwater (EFW) pump's quarterly SG low low actuation slave relay test was not performed within the required frequency s>ecified in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 Ta)le 4.3-2, on five ditferent occasions. On December 21, 1994, the turbine driven  ;

EFW pump train B SG low low level actuation relay test was performed 61 j days late; on January 10, 1995, the motor driven EFW pump train A SG '

low low level actuation relay test was performed 60 days late: on January 17, 1995, the motor driven EFW pump train B SG low low level actuation relay test was performed 79 days late; on July 16, 1996, the I motor driven EFW pump train A SG low low level actuation test was performed 49 days late: and on December 2, 1996, the turbine driven EFW pump train A SG low low level actuation test was performed 3 days late.

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

B. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.9.4, Reactor Building Penetration, requires that Reactor Building penetrations shall be determined to be either in its closed / isolated condition or capable of being closed by an OPERABLE automatic Reactor Building Purge and Exhaust isolation valve within 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> prior to the start of CORE ALTERATIONS by verifying the penetrations are in their closed / isolated condition.

Contrary to the above, on April 22, 1996, a core alteration was performed prior to verifying that the Reactor Building penetrations were in their closed / isolated condition. Specifically, the fuel handling bridge gripper was lowered into the pressure vessel at approximately 3:30 a.m. on April 22. The surveillance procedure that verified the penetrations were in their closed / isolated condition was not signed as complete until 10:30 a.m. on April 22.
