l NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Energy Corporation Docket No. 50-413, 414 l Catawba Nuclear Station License No. NPF-35, 52 During an NRC inspection conducted from July 5 - August 15, 1998, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

. Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33. Revision 2. As referenced in Section 8 of RG 1.33, this includes surveillance test procedures.

Contrary to the above, prior to April 15, 1998, the licensee failed to establish adequate surveillance procedures to ensure that, during the conduct of PT/1(2)/A/4200/059. Nuclear Service Water System to Auxiliary Feedwater (CA) System Suction Piping Flush, Revision 31 (32), affected auxiliary feedwater system pumps would be declared inoperable and logged into the Technical Specification Action Item Log. As a result, the licensee failed to recognize that the conduct of this test rendered affected auxiliary feedwater system equipment (a motor-driven CA pump and the turbine-driven CA pump) inoperable for the duration of the test.

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