License No. NPF-68 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 6-20, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. -The viola-tion involved measurement of reactor coolant system unidentified leakage In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforce-ment Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 4.4.6.2.1 requires that the reactor coolant system unidentified leakage be demonstrated to be less than one gallon per minute in modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 by the performance of a reactor coolant system inventory balance at least once per 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Contrary to the above, Procedure 14905-1 in use for this Technical Specification surveillance during a period encompassing March 7, 1987, was inadequate to perform the task in that it did not properly account for changes in average system temperature or pressurizer level in determining the change in inventory.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Power 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) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
