MAR I 1 1987 ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power anc Light Company Docket Nos. 50-250 & 50-251 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 License Nos. OPR-31 & DPR-41 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commluion (NRC) inspection conducted on January 12 - Febrtary 9,1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified.

The violations involved the failure to take adequate corrective action for a condition adverse to quality and the failure to establish and implement adequate procedures.

A. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, as implemented by Florida Power and Light Topical Quality Assurance Report FPLTQAR 1-76A, Revision 9, and TQR 16.0, Revision 5, entitled Corrective Action, requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.

FPL Quality Assurance Manual, Quality Procedure 16.1 Pevision 8. deline-ates requirements for assuring that conditions adverse to quality are promptly corrected.

Contrary to the above, the licensee did not take pronpt and adequate actions to identify and correct a deficient condition in that, af ter it was determined in August 1986 that broken keys, damaged keyways and a damaged shaft contributed to the degraded condition of Intake Cooling Water (ICW) check valve 3 321, necessitating both key and shaf t replace-ment, insufficient action was taken to evaluate the safety significance of operating ICW check valve 4-311 while it exhibited symptoms of internal key and keyway damage. Consequently, between October 29, 1986, and January 16, 1987, when NRC Region !! management questioned valve opera-bility, no written analysis or empirical inspection was performed to determine the root cause of the observed deficiency, no action was taken to repair the deficiency and no determination was initiated as to whether the discrepancy increased the potential for valve failure.

This is is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) and is applicable to Unit 4 only.

B. Technical Specificatinn 6.8.1 requires that written procedures and admini-

, strative policies shall be established, implemented and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements of sections 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972 and Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33.

ANSI N18.7-1972, section 5.1.5 specifies that procedures shall be provided for control of equipment, as necessary, to maintain reactor and personnel safety and to avoid unauthorized operation of coutpment. Section 5.1.2 of ANSI N18.7 1972 specifies that procedures shall be followed. l 0703240269 H70311 PDH ADOCK 03000250 0 PON

)M 11 $07 Florida Power and Light Company 2 Docket Nos. 50-250 8 50-251 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 License Nos. DPR-31 & DPR-41 Administrative Procedure 0103.4, in-Plant Equipment Clearance Orders, Section 3.4.1, states in part that a clearance shall exist on a system when a component or system is isolated by valves from any source of pressure and is properly tagged with a danger tag to ensure the protection of personnel and equipment.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to implement AP 0103.4, in that lubricating water system valve 3-030 was not danger tagged by clearance order at a time when it constituted a system clearance boundary. This condition existed for an unknown period of time between December 3,1986, and February 5,1987 This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement 1) and is applicable to Unit 3 only.

Pursuant to the previsions of 10 CFR 2.201 Florida Power and Light Company is

! hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting tnis Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including (for each violation): (1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved (4) the corrective steps which will i

be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
