I ENCLOSURE

, NOTICE OF VIOLATION  :

Alabama Power Company Docket Nos. 50-348, 50-364 Farley 1 and 2 License Nos. NPF-2, NPF-8 During the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) inspection conducted on February 22-26 and March 7-11, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V states, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly corrected. t Procedure FNP-0-AP-15, Maintenance Conduct of Operations, Rev. 9, indicates that quality will be controlled, in part, by Supervisor Check Points. Step 6.2 of FNP-0-AP-15 states that the Supervisor Check Point will be denoted by the letter "S" in the left hand margin of the procedure and that the Maintenance Foreman responsible for the accomplishment of the task must verify the activity.  !

Procedure FNP-0-AP-04, Control of Plant Documents and Records, Revision 12, specifies requirements for controlling plant documents and records.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow procedures and failed to prevent deficient conditions from reoccurring in the following cases- l

1. Although FNP-0-AP-15 required the Maintenance Foreman to sign

designated check points, the licensee failed to follow FNP-0-AP-15 as identified in the SAER audits listed below and failed to take adequate corrective action to prevent deficient Supervisor Check Point sign offs from reoccurring during the performance of maintenance activities. A May 16, 1986, Safety Audit and Engineering Review (SAER) Group audit report indicated that a Maintenance Foreman allowed nonsupervisory personnel to sign "S" points during the performance of FNP-0-STP-616, Control Room Emergency Ventilation System Heater Test. A June 30,1986, SAER audit report indicated that day shift Maintenance personnel signed "S" points for night shift work. An SAER audit dated December 12, 1986, indicated that the "S" point for cleanin( and testing reactor trip breakers was signed by a journeyman. An SAER audit dated March 25, 1987, indicated that FNP-0-GMP-52.3, Replacement of Individual Battery Cells in Existing Batteries, was not followed in that a Maintenance

' Foreman did not sign an "S" point. A May 26, 1987, SAER audit indicated that an "S" point in procedure FNP-0-MP-53.2, Lifting of t Main Turbine HP Rotor, was signed off as complete the day before the step was performed.

2. Although FNP-0-AP-04 required control of documentation and reports, the licensee failed to ensure administrative instructions were followed and failed to take adequate corrective action to prevent the r deficient conditions from reocurring as noted below. On March 8, 1988, an incorrect revision of FNP-0-AP-14 was noted in the Materials Warehouse, Plant Manager's office and Maintenance Supervisor's office. Also, the Control Room contained incorrect revisions for procedures FNP-0-ECP-000, FNP-2-ARP-1.2 (Part B), FNP-2-ARP-1.2 (Part G) and drawing D20007. Previous SAER audit finding FNP-NC-62-86/9(18) had identified a problem with document control. An internal licensee letter indicated that the corrective action was completed on June 25, 1987. During a subsequent SAER audit (Audit Report No. 87-14 dated July 30,1987), the SAER detennined that the corrective action was inadequate in that four additional procedures that were in use in the control room were found to have incorrect revisions. l This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Alabama Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear .

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, i with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspec'9r, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice. This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include [for each violation]: (1) admission or denial of i the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective l steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (4) the corrective steps

! which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time. If an adequate reply is not received ,

within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.

FOR THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
