APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Public Power District Docket:

50-285 Fort Calhoun Station Operating License:

CPPR-129 l

During an NRC inspection conducted on June 27 through July 1, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

The violation involved failure to establish procedural controls in regard to conditional release of nonconforming items.

In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:

Criterion XV of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and the licensee's approved quality assurance program description requires that measures be established to control materials, parts, or components which do not conform to requirements, in order to prevent their inadvertent use or installation. The Quality Assurance Plan for Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No.1, Section 7.4, paragraph 4.2.3 provides for a "conditional release basis," for use of nonconforming items which can be corrected if a statement documenting the authority and technical justification is prepared.

Paragraph 4.3.1 of the same plan also requires that procedures for the control of nonconforming items shall be contained in the Quality Assurance Department Manual.

Contrary to the above, the Quality Assurance Department Manual procedures for control of nonconforming items did not address a "conditional release basis" although the process was being implemented.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I.D.)(285/8821-21).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Omaha Public Power District is hereby required to submit to this office, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:

(1) the reason for the violation if admitted, (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

Dated at Arlington, Texas, this 07dL day of 1988.
