l Consumers Energy Docket No. 50-155 l
Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant License No. DPR-6 l
l During an NRC inspection conducted from April 30,1997, through June 16,1997, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:
l 1.
Big Rock Point Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for all structures, systems, l
components, and safety actions defined in the Big Rock Point Quality List. These l
procedures shall meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI N18.7, as endorsed by CPC-2A, " Quality Program Description for Operational Nuclear Power Plants."
Section 5.2 of CPC-2A states,in part, that system operating procedures and testing procedures are used to control activities affecting the quality of safety related structures, systems, and components.
Test Procedure TV-07 " Control Rod Drive (CRD) Scram Test from Notch "23" and l
Coupling Integrity Checks," Revision 20, Step S.2.h requires that when the CRD insertion speed is outside the range of 26 to 28 seconds that the Rate Set Valve, V-1 be adjusted as required to improve drive performance, and the CRD be re-timed.
l Contiary to the above, the inspector identified that on April 3,1996 and May 2, i
1997, seven and five CRDs respectively were left after insertion time testing with insert speeds greater than 28 seconds.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
2.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, " Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings,"
states, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, and drawings.
Systern Operating Procedure (SOP)-10 " Containment Vessel," Revision 146, Step 2,2.c states, "Both doors of the equipment lock shall be closed at all times except for ingress, egress or to break containment integrity."
Contrary to the above, the licensee identified on May 31,1997, at 8:30 a.m., that the containment equipment lock inner door was open, an activity affecting quality, without ingress, egress, or breaking containment integrity evolutions in progress.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
