J NOTICE OF VIOLATION l

l Northern States Power Company Docket No. 50-282; 50-306 t

As a result of the inspection conducced on September 16 through October 26, l

a 1988, and in accordance with the "General Policy and Procedures for NRC t

Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the following i

violations were identified:

t i

1.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion Y, as implen' ente by the Prairie Island i

Quality Assurance Plan, requires that activities affecting quality shall Le prescribed by doctanented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a 3

type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in 4

l accordance with these instructions or procedures.

a.

Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Calibration Control

[

I procedure no. SACD 3.14, paragraph 6.6, requires that procurement L

documents shall specify as a minimum the as-found condition and the

(

as-lef t condition for instrument calibration.

Contrary to the above, the procurement documents which requisition

[

j the calibration of flowmeters did not require that an as-found condition be detennined, i

)

L l

b.

10 CFR 50, Appendix J, paragraph III.A.3.(c) requires that for j

Type A tests the leakage rate shall be calculated using absolute values corrected for instrument error.

Contrary to the above, the licensee's CILRT procedure or computer program for Total Time did not reflect a method to calculate the i

leakage rate using absolute values corrected for instrument error 1

or specify a method to calculate the leakage rate at the 95% upper j

confidence level.

I c.

Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Integrated Ledk Rate Test i

Program procedure no. SP 1071(4), pg. 76, Valve Lineup, requires vent valve liC-1-2 to be in the open position.

Contrary to the above, the inspector observed valve HC-1-2 to be in the closed ?osition, although the valve position checklist had been initialed and dated.

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

2.

10 CFR 5,,, Appendix J, paragraph !!!.D.2 requires that Type B tests shall be performed during reactor shutdown for refueling or other convenient intervals but in no case at intervals greater than 2 years.

Contrary to the above, the licensee has not conducted Type B tests on 51 Unit 1 electrical penetrations and the 52 Unit 2 electrical penetrations since 1983, s911300512 831121 PDR ADOCK 0500 0

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

3.

Prairie Island Technical Specification 4.4.t. 2, Containment Leakage Tests, states, in part, "...when containment system integrity is required, each airlock shall be tested every 3 days if it is in use by pressurizing the intergasket space to 10 psig.

f Contrary to the above, the licensee entered the Unit 1 personnel airlock on May 26, 1988, but failed to perform the required surveillance test.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I),

4.

10 CFR 50, Appendix J, paragraph III.A.S.(b)(1) states, in part, "If local leakage measurements are taken to effect repairs in order to meet j

the acceptance criteria, these measurements shall be taken at a test

]

pressure Pt (1/2 Pa)."

i Contrary to the above, the licensee is testing in response to repairs I

and maintenance on containment boundaries during the 1985 and 1988 Unit 1 i

containment integrated leak rate tests (CILRT) and the 1985 Unit 2 CILRT l

was performed at a pressure equal to Pa.

J This is a Severity Level IV violatica (Supplement I).

(

5.

10 CFR 50, Appendix J, paragraph III.C.2, Test Pressure, requires that j

for Type C tests, valves shall be pressurized with air or Nitrogen at a pressure of Pa.

J Technical Specification Section 4.4.A.2, containment leakage tests require that Type C tests of penetrations shall be performed at a i

pressure of 46 psig.

Additionally, Technical Specification TS 4.4-1 requires that Containment Spray Penetrations 29A and 298 be Type C 4

tested, l

i Contrary to the abuve, the licensee does not Type C test the Unit 1 containment spray valves MV-32105 and MV-32103 for penetrations 29A j

and 29B, respectively.

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

With respect to Item 1.b, the inspection showed that actions had been taken to correct the identified violation and to prevent recurrence.

Consequently, no reply to the violation is required and we have no furthur questions I
