corporate office in Parsippany, New Jersey and the Three Mile Island, Unit 1
facility in Middletown, Pennsylvania, of activities authorized by NRC Operating
License No. DPR-50. The team's findings were discussed with you and members
of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection. The inspection reviewed
your implementation of a program for establishing and maintaining the quali-
fication of electric equipment within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49. Within these
areas, the inspection consisted of selected EQ files, procedures and records,
interviews with personnel and observations by the inspectors. The inspection
determined that you have implemented a program to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.49 except for certain deficiencies identified in the enclosed inspection
report.
As a result of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activities
have been identified that were not conducted in full compliance with NRC
requirements as set forth in the Notice of violation, enclosed herewith as
Appendix A.
This violation has been categorized by severity level in
accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC
Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy 1986).
Eight other apparent violations have been identified in your 10 CFR 50.49
program implementation, enclosed herewith as Appendix B, are classified as
Potential Enforcement Items. With regard to these items we are considering
appropriate enforcement action and will inform you of our decision in the
future. The eight Potential Enforcement items include 1) failure to maintain
the EQ files in an auditable form to permit verification of adequacy and
acceptability of qualification documents used in qualifying each item of
electrical equipment, 2) failure to demonstrate that the black Durez
(phenolic) Limitorque limit switch cam shaft was qualified for use in
!
containnent prior to this inspection, 3) failure to demonstrate that cable
insulation resistance for Rockbestos Cable had been considered with respect to
l
instrument accuracy requirements, 4) failure to demonstrate qualification of
installed Static-0-Ring Pressure Switch versus test specimen, 5) failure to
demonstrate qualification of Kerite Splice and dispositioning of Test
