Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River Unit 3 License No. DPR-72 l
During NRC inspections conducted on June 8 through July 12, 1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "Geraral Statement of Policy and Procedurc icr NRC Enforcement Actions." NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below.
10 CFR 50. Appendix B. Criterion XVI. requires that measures shall 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.
10 CFR 50. Appendix B. Criterion V. requires that activities affecting I
cuality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures or crawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures or drawings.
NRC Notice of Violation EA 97-094, dated June 6.1997, identified two examples of failing to report conditions within the timeliness i
requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73. The licensee's
}
corrective actions included revision of Florida Power Corporation Compliance Procedure CP-151. External Reporting Requirements, to incorporate the correct timeliness requirements of 10 CCR 50.72 and 50.73 in the procedure.
Contrary to the above, the licensee's corrective actions for NRC Notice of Violation EA 97-094 were inadequate in that the revised Procedure CP-151. External Reporting Requirements. Revision 1. dated June 25, 1997, was inadequate to prevent repetition of the violation.
Revision 1 of Procedure CP-151 was inadequate in that it incorrectly defined the start of the reportability time clock to be the time when the Nuclear Shift Manager or Shift Supervisor on Duty determines that a condition is reportable.
10 CFR 50.72 requires that the reportability time clock for one-hour and four-hour reports start with the occurrence 01 the event or condition.
10 CFR 50.73. requires that the reportability time clock for 30-day reports start with the discovery of the event or condition.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).
