. 1 ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION i

New York Power Authority Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant License No. DPR-50 During an NRC inspection conducted from February 23,1997, through April 12,1997,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:

A. 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, deficiencies, and deviations, are promptly identified and corrected, with corrective action taken to preclude repetition of the condition.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to take prompt and adequate corrective action for a condition adverse to quality as exemplified by the following:

Actions taken following the May 19,1993 shutdown cooling isolation due to a reactor high pressure trip, including the recommendations of Technical Services System Engineering Memorandum, JSEM-93-049, Root Cause Analysis of RHR Shutdown Cooling Isolations, dated November 11,1993, to install a high point vent, were not completed and did not prevent the reoccurrence of the automatic engineered safety feature actuation of shutdown cooling isolation on January 24, 1997.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, New York Power Authority 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 I, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the Facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of receipt of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for

disputing the violation; (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the i

date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the l required response. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending l

the response time.
