4 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50 302 i
Crystal River Nuclear Plant License No. DPR 72 Unit 3 EA 97 330 During NRC inspections conducted on June 2 through June 20, 1997, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the " General l
Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Artions," NUREG 1600,
[
the violations are listed below:
i A,
10 CFR 50,59(a)(1) states, in part, that licensees may make changes to the facility or procedures as described in the safety analysis report, without prior Commission approval, unless the proposed change involves an unreviewed safety, question (USQ).
10 CFR 50.59(a)(2) states, in j-part -that a proposeo change shall be deemed to involve a USQ if the probability of occurrence of a malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report may be increased.
10 CFR 50.59 (b)(1), in part, states that the licensee shall maintain records of changes in the facility and of changes in procedures made pursuant to this section. These records must include a written i~
safety evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that the change does not involve a USQ.
10 CFR 50.59 states that a licensee who desires to make a change in the facility or procedures described in l
the safety analysis report which involves a USQ shall submit an j
application for amendment of his license pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90.
4
~
Contrary to the above, on December 21, 1987, the licensee made a change to the facility, without prior Commission approval, that involved an unreviewed safety question (USQ). The change, which was implemented 4
under plant modification MAR No. 80 09 13 01, Emergency Diesel i
Generators (EDG) Relaying Modification, modified the EDG control circuits as described in Figure 8 9 of the Final Safety Analysis Report 3
(FSAR). The change increased the probability of failure of the EDGs by i
adding electrical components to the EDG protective lockout circuit that i
were not bypassed during emergency operation and were not installed with two out of three coincidence logic. A single failure in the added components could cause the EDG to trip during emergency operation. The modification safety evaluation, which was approved by the licensee's staff on February 17, 1987, failed to identify the USQ.
(01013) 8.
10 CFR 50.71(e) states that each person licensed to operate a nuclear power reactor shall periodically update the FSAR to assure that the i
information included in the FSAR contains the latest material developed.-
Revisions must be filed annually or 6 months after each refueling outage provided the interval between successive updates does not exceed a
24 months.
Contrary to the above, as of June 25. 1997, the licensee had failed 4
to update Figure 8 9 of the FSAR to include MAR 80 09 13 01.
Emergency Diesel-Generators (EDG) Relaying Modification, completed on December 21, 1987.
(01023) 4 These violations represent a Severity Level III problem (Supplement I).
