In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality such as deficiencies, deviations, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
These requirements are further delineated in Section 12 of the licensee's corporate Qual;ty Assurance Program Manual, Revision 18 (which has been superseded by NGGM-PM-007, Quality Assurance Program Manual, Revision 1), and in Administrative Procedure AP-615, " Condition Reporting," Revision 23 (which has been superseded by CAP-NGGC-001," Corrective Action Management," Revision 1.)
Section 3.7 of procedure AP-615, Revision 16, required that personnel document potentialaWer'e conditions via Attachment 1. Section 9.1 of procedure CAP-NGGC-001, Wy.,, rt luires a person who identifies an adverse condition to initiate a Condition Repo+
Contrary to the above, prior to August 13,1998, the licensee failed to promptly identify a condition adverse to quality in accordance with procedures AP-615 and CAP-NGGC-001, in that on March 3,1996, the licensee identified that the safety evaluation report for the cycle 6 fuel reload had incorrectly concluded that a calculated increase in dose consequences did not constitute an unreviewed safety question, but did not document that condition in a condition report.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region ll, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is the subject of this notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).

- the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response, if an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.

If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
