APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.
Docket No. 50-247 Indian Point Station, Unit 2 License No. DPR-26 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 27-29, 1987, and in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy for NRC Enforcement Actions",
Appendix C) (Enforcement Policy), the following violation was identified:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, requires that a test program be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. Test procedures shall include provisions for assuring that the test is performed under suitable environmental conditions.
The Indian Point Unit 2 Quality Assurance Program and American National Standard N18.7-1976/ANS-3.2 Section 5.2.8 require that a surveillance testing and inspection program te prescribed to ensure that safety-related structures, systems and components continue to operate, keeping parameters within normal bounds.
Contrary to the above as of January 28, 1987, the licensee's surveillance and test procedures were inadequate to demonstrate and ensure the operability of station DC battery system in that:
1.
The licensee failed to include requirements and acceptance limits for battery electrotype temperatere and the resulting effects on capacity. (A low electrotype temperature of 54 was subsequently determined by the licensee to make the No. 21 battery inoperable and require the initiation of a plant shutdown on January 29, 1987), and 2.
The licensee's monitoring and surveillance procedures, including the station freeze protection procedure, do not include the battery room (at elevation +33.0 in control building) in the winterizing program; thus, they do not ensure that suitable environmental conditions are kept within normal bounds for safety related equipment to be operable.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (supplement I).
