APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Louisiana Power & Light Company Docket:
50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, License:
NPF-26 Unit 3 During an NRC inspection conducted on December 8-11, 1986, and March 30 through April 1, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved a failure to quantify containment isolation valve leakage for six valves.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:
The requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50.54(o), are invoked as a condition of the license for all water cooled power reactors. Appendix J requires that a continuous running sum of local leak rates for penetrations and isolation valves subjected to this testing not exceed 0.6 times the maximum allowable leakage rate at the calculated peak containment internal pressure related to the design basis loss of coolant accident.
Contrary to the above, it was found during the week of December 8-11, 1986, that the local leak rates for six valves required to be tested had recorded as-found leak results of "off scale" with no recorded value, so that the continuous running sum of local leak rates was not known and the required comparison with the Appendix J criterion could not be made for the as-found condition.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement II.D.) (8634-01)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Louisiana Power & Light Company is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation if admitted, (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
