NOTICE OF VIOLATION South Carolina Electric and Gas Company Docket No.
50-395 V. C. Summer Unit 1 License No.
NPF-12 EA 88-151 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on May 1 -
31, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for hRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.2.3 requires two independent groups of reactor building cooling units (RBCUs) be operable in Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
ACTION Statement "b" of TS 3.6.2.3 requires that with both trains of RBCUs inoperable and both trains of reactor building spray systems operable, to restore at least one train within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or be in at least hot standby within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in cold shutdown within the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
TS 3.0.4 specifies entry into an operational mode shall not be made unless the conditions of the Limiting Condition for Operation are met without reliance on provisions contained in the ACTION requirements.
TS 6.8.1 requires procedures to be established and implemented covering the activities referenced in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33 Revision 2, February 1978. Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, specifies that administrative procedures be established and implemented.
Station Administrative Procedure 132 requires that the shift engineer review the computer post trip review printout (that includes service water flow) prior to plant restart.
It specifically states to ascertain the cause of each alarm and determine that any required automatic action functioned properly.
Contrary to the above, entry into mode 2 was made at 8:24 p.m. on May 12, 1988, and subsequently into Mode 1 at 12:21 a.m. on May 13, 1988, with both trains of RBCUs inoperable.
The post trip review failed to detect that RBCUs were inoperable due to low service water flow, and therefore, the plant was in TS 3.6.2.3 Action Statement "b."
This is a Severity Level !!! violation (Supplement 1).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (licensee) is hereby required to submit a written statement or explana-tion to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
