i NOTICE OF VIOLATION Consumers Power Compcny Docket No. 50-155 As a result of the inspection conducted on December 9-13, 1985, March 5-7, 31, May 8, and July 18, 1986, and in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C -
General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (1985),
the following violations were identified:
~
1.
10 CFR 50.48(b) in part requires that all nuclear power plants licensed to operate prior to January 1,1979, shall satisfy the applicable require-ments of Appendix R to this part, including, specifically, the requirements of Section III.G, Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to request an exemption from the requirements of Section III.G.2 of Appendix R after determining that the fire protection features in the Screenwell and Pump House did not meet the specific requirements of Section III.G.2 in that no fire suppression system was installed in this area.
In addition, no alternate shutdown capability was provided for the Screenwell and Pump House.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
2.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires corrective action measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such i
as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, defective material and equipment, deviations, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall i
assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.
Consumers Power Company Quality Assurance Program for operational Nuclear Power Plants, Section 5.9 states, " Conditions adverse to fire protection, such as test failures, malfunctions, defective components and uncontrolled combustible material and fire incidents, are documented and corrective actions are accomplished according to QAPP 17-51."
Contrary to the above, the licensee identified that a problem existed with the eight hour emergency lighting system on August 16, 1984, however, the lighting system deficiencies still existed on May 8, 1986.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
3.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires the establishment of and adherence to administrative procedures for fire protection.
Section 8.3.1(c) of the Fire Protection Implementing Procedures require that the " Storage of unnecessary comuustible materials shall not be in areas containing safety-related equipment."

{DR ADOCK 05000155 PDR
Contrary to the above, Section 8.3.1(c) of the Fire Protection Implementing I
Procedures were not adhered to in that fourteen drums each containing 215 pounds of mixed bed ion exchange resin was being stored on the Turbine Deck directly beneath cabling necessary for the operation of the Alternate Shut-down Panel (safety-related).
In addition, three 55 gallon drums containing oil was located nearby, which created an exposure fire hazard to the drums of resin and/or also the potential to damage the Alternate Shutdown Panel cabling.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).
With respect to Item 3, the inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the identified violation and to prevent recurrence.
Consequently, no reply to the violation is required and we have no further questions regarding this matter. With respect to Items 1 and 2 pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:
(1) corrective action taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
