APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Boston Edison Company Docket No. 50-293 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-35 As a result of the inspection conducted on October 20-24, 1986, and in accord-ance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:

A. Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Operating License Number DPR-35, Section 3.F, Fire Protection, requires the licensee to implement the administrative controls specified in Section 6 of the NRC's Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (SE), dated December 21, 1978. Section 6 of the NRC Fire Protection SE states that the fire brigade training program shall meet the requirements presented in NRC guidance document " Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Functional Responsibilities, Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance". The requirements in part are "... In-struction will be provided to all fire brigade members and fire brigade leaders at regularly planned meetings held every 3 months...".

Contrary to the above, as of October 21, 1986 at least thirty (30) members of the brigade had not received the required classroom instruction in that nine (9) members of the brigade had not participated in two quarterly sessions of required classroom instruction and twenty-one (21) members had not participated in one quarterly training session.

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

B. The Pilgrim Technical Specifications Section 6.8.0 requires that written procedures to implement the Fire Protection Program shall be established, implemented and maintained. One Fire Protection Program Procedure is 8.B.14 Fire Watch, which requires that fire watches must inspect hourly the plant areas found with inoperable fire protection equipment or degraded fire barriers.

Contrary to the above, as of October 21, 1986, the fire watches assigned to patrol the vital MG Set room had not entered the room to perform the hourly patrol from at least 8 am to 11 am that day. This was ascertained by an examination of the electronic keycard entry logs for this room.

Also, the fire watch assigned to patrol the MG set room did not perform the required room surveillance. The inspector observed that the 4 pm fire watch entered the room, signed the log and left.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I) 8701090570 861230 PDR ADOCK 05000293 0FFICIAL RECORD COPY IR PILGRIM 86 0028.0.0 g PDR 12/12/86
