APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION New York Power Authority (NYPA)

Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant License No. OPR-59 As a result of the inspection conducted on October 11-14, 1988, and in accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C (Enforcement Policy) (1988), the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 50.49 paragraphs (f) and (j), respectively, require that (1) each item of electric equipment important to safety shall be qualified by testing and/or analysis of identical or similar equipment, and the quali-fication based on similarity shall include a supporting analysis to show that equipment to be qualified is acceptable; and, (2) a record of the qualification shall be maintained in an auditable form to permit verifica-tion that each item of electrical equipment important to safety is qualified and that the equipment meets the specified performance requirements under postulated environmental conditions.

Contrary to the above on October 14, the NRC inspectors identified Okonite cable splices in Limitorque operator No. 12 MOV-15, that were not qualified in that they were installed in a condition that was not similar to the qualified configuration. Specifically. the installed half-lapped layers of the tape splice were 1/8-1/4 inch. This is substantially less than the 3/8-1/2 inch half-lapped layer required to be in accordance with the qualified configuration.

This is a level IV V olation.

Supplement I.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, New York Power Authority is hereby 1

required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
