o APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION GPU Nuclear Corporation Docket No. 50-289 Three Mile Island, Unit No. 1 License No. DRP-50 During NRC inspections conducted between April 11 and May 16, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are set forth below.

A. Technical Specification 6.8.1 states, " Written procedures important to. safety shall be implemented ... covering the ... applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978...."

Contrary to the above, written procedures important to safety were not implemented, in part, as noted below.

1. Alarm Response Procedure C-2-1, Revision 15, dated February 24, 1986, for "RM-A7 Gas Waste Tank Discharge" monitor paragraph

" Manual Actions Required" requires, in part, that, on first alarm (alert), the waste gas release be stopped by closing WDG-V-47, Discharge Isolation Valve, and that radiological controls department sample the system.

Contrary to the above, between 12:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on April 19, 1986, a gas waste tank discharge release occurred with RM-A7 in first alarm (alert) with no action to stop the release and have radiological controls department sample the system.

2. Administrative Procedure 1029, Revision 21, April 22, 1986,

" Conduct of Operations," paragraph 5.7.b, states that "a minimum of 1 SR0 [ senior reactor operator] a_rtd 1 RO [ reactor operator] must be in the control room at all times when the RCS

[ Reactor Coolant System] is greater than 200 F."

Contrary to the above, between approximately 12:15 a.m. and 12:35 a.m. on April 21, 1986, an SRO was not in the control room at all times with the RCS greater than 200 F.

3. Operating Procedure 1104-29E, Revision 19, dated March 20, 1986, " Bleed and Feed Process," paragraph 12.2.5.h, for comple-tion of bleed and feed cleanup of the Reactor Ceolant (RC)

System, requires that WDL-V-154, "A" RC Biced Tank Transfer Pump Suction Isolation Valve, be opened.

4 Appendix A 2 Contrary to the above, on April 21-22, 1986, between completion of bleed and feed cleanup for the reactor coolant system and prior to the start of deboration for criticality, WDL-V-164 was not opened. [As a result, several attempts by operators to start deborating (the RCS for reactor criticality) using the "A" RCBT resulted in successive transfer pump trips due to low suction pressure with the suction isolation valve closed.]

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

Pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 2.201, GPU Nuclear Corporation 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 correc-tive steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is show, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
