ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duquesne Light Comptiny Docket Nos. 50-334, 50-412 Beaver Valley Power Station 1 & 2 License Nos. DPR-66, NPF 73 Du:ing the NRC inspection conducted August 30 - Octobe 4,1997, two violations of NRC requirernents were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (60 FR 34381; June 30,1995), the violations are listed below:

10 CFR, 50.54(a)(3), requires, in part, that changes to the quality assurance piogram description that reduce the commitments (in the program description previously accepted by the NRC) be submitted to NRC and receive NRC approval prior to implementation.

Contrary to the above, in April 1994, the licensee changed the quality assurance program, resulting in a reduction in commitments in the quality assurance program description previously accepted by the NRC without prior NRC approval.

Specifically, the licensee realigned the Quality Control receipt inspectors from the Quality Services Unit to the procurement department. This organizational change reduced the authority and organizational freedom of the quality control organization performing procurement receipt inspections.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Duquesne 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 I, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspectors at the f acility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date 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 for each violation: (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 achinved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further vic'ations, and (4) 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 a Demand for Information may be issuea 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. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response tirne.
