APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Philadelphia Electric Co. Docket No. 50-277 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania License No. DPR-44 As a result of the team inspection conducted on December 8-19, 1986, at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 2, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:

i A. Technical Specifications 3.14.B.s, paragraph a., states, in part, that a continuous fire watch with back-up fire suppression equipment for an unpro-tected diesel generator room is required within one hour. Station adminis-trative procedure A-12.1, paragraph 2.1.3, requires that a dedicated Technical Specification firewatch must be posted within one hour after a

Cardox System switch in a diesel generator room is placed in the " defeat"

position. Procedure A-12, paragraphs 7.2.3 and 7.2.4, specifies Technical i Specification firewatch as a firewatch having "no job related duties other 7

than firewatch duties."

Contrary to the above, an operator designated as the firewatch, performing t

diesel generator surveillance testing (ST 8.1) with the Cardox System dis-abled, was observed on two occasions to be outside the diesel room. On December 10, 1986, at approximately 1:00 a.m. , the operator left the E-3 diesel room to telephone the Control Room and on December 16, 1986, at approximately 12:45 a.m., the operator was found outside the E-1 diesel room. The failure to provide a continuous dedicated firewatch constitutes a violation.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 20.201, Philadelphia Electric Company 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 violations 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, i
