t t NOTICE OF VIOLATION Illinois Power Company License No. NPF-62 As a result of the inspection conducted on April 4 through May 18, 1988, a.d in accordance with the 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C - General Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (1987), the following violations were identified:

1. Technical Specification 4.0.2. requires that each Surveillance Require-ment shall be performed within the specified time interval with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval.

Contrary to the above:

On April 1,1988, CPS No. 9000.010002, Control Room Operator Surveillance Log - Mode 4, 5 Data Sheet, required to be performed at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, was not performed between 12:25 a.m. and 4:40 p.m., a period of 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> and 15 minutes.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (461/88009-01(DRP)).

2. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.3. requires that each primary containment air lock shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by conducting an overall air lock leakage test at Pa, 9.0 psig, and verifying that the overall air lock leakage rate is within its limit prior to establishing PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY when maintenance has been performed on the air lock that could affect the air lock sealing capability."

Contrary to the above:

On April 30, 1988, while in OPERATIONAL CONDITION 4, maintenance was performed on the 828' Elevation Containment Air lock Equalizing Valve.

The maintenance involved removal, disassembly, and reinstallation of the equalizing valve, which could affect the air lock sealing capability.

On May 2, 1988, the licensee established PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY and the plant entered OPERATIONAL CONDITION 2 without performing an overall air lock leakage test. The condition was not identified and the air lock was not declared inoperable until approximately eleven hours after entering OPERATIONAL CONDITION 2.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (461/88009-02(DRP)).

3. Technical Specification 3.6.6.1 requires that Secondary Containment Integrity be maintained in Operational Condition 1 and if lost be l

restored within four hours.

Notice of Violation 2 IJUN 0 81988

-On May 17, 1988, at about 11:30 a.m. while in Operational Condition 1, Secondary Containment Integrity was not maintained when the sealing mechanism associated with Secondary Containment Penetration 1FB-0140 was removed. Secondary Containment Integrity was restored at about 6:00 a.m. on May 18, 1988.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (461/88-009-03(ORP)).

4. 10 CFR 50, Appendix 8, Criterion XVI and IP Operational Quality Assurance Manual Chapter 16 state in part: Conditions adverse to plant safety and/or quality are promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above:

On March 16, 1988, and again on April 19, 1988, the licensee identified a condition adverse to quality in that the missile protection covers over the Emergency Diesel Generator Fuel Oil Tank Fill Connections as described in section 9.5.4.3. of the Final Safety Analysis Report, were not closed.

The condition was not promptly corrected in that the covers remained open until May 12, 1988.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (461/88009-04(ORP)).

With respect to item 1, the inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the identified violation and to prevent recurrence.

Consequently, no reply to that violation is required and we have no further questions regarding this matter. With respect to Items 2, 3, and 4 pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:

(1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
