SUBJECT:' - NOTICE OF VIOLATION (POINT BEACH NRC INSPECTION

REPORT NO. 50 266/301/96019(DRP))

Dear Mr. Patuiski:

,

This concerns your letter dated March 31,1997, which contained your response to the

Notice of Violation associated with inspection Report No. 50-266/96019(DRP);

50-301/96019(DRP) transmitted to you in our letter of February 27,1997. We noted that

your response to '/lotation 1.8 was incomplete in that it did not address the second part of

the violation.

Violation 1,8 was an example of your failure to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50

Appendix B, Criterion V, regarding procedural adherence. Specifically, this violation

involved your failure to document two conditions that may have affected equipment

operability per Nuclear Power Department Procedure (NP) 5.3.1, Revirbn 4. " Condition

Reporting System." Your response addressed the condition involving a high fuel oil pressure

alarm received during a monthly ?9st of the G 03 emergency diesel generator, but did not

discuss the oilleak from the P-35A electric fire pump motor.

Around February 12,1997, you removed, disassembled, cleaned, and inspected the P-35A

motor per work order (WO) 9611753, "P 35A M Troubleshoot and/or Repair Oil Leak." On

February 21,1997, P-35A was returned to service following satisfactory performance of the

post-maintenance test Technical Specification Test (TS) 71, Revision 14. " Monthly Electric

Motor Driven Fire Pump Functional Test."

The inspectors reviewed the completed documentation for WO 9611753 and the post-

maintenance test. The inspectors also reviewed documentation for subsequent monthly

TS 71s and observed the condition of the P 35A pump and motor. WO 9611753 corrected

the condition documented by the violation and no significant oilleakage was noted in the

TS 71s or observed by the inspectors.

We noted that the " Corrective Action To Prevent Recurrence" section of your response for

Violation 1.B provided applicable long-term corrective action for both parts of this violation.

Therefore, although you did not address the P-35A oilleak in your response, we have no O

' additional concer! : with this issue and no further response is required. These corrective l

actions will be eunined during future inspections.
