1 APPENDIX A I

NOTICE OF VIOLATION Boston Edison Company Docket No.

50-293 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-35 As a result of the inspection conducted on August 17-21, 1987, and in accor-dance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy) (1986), the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, states in part, " Test results shall be... evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied."

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, states in part, " measures shall be established to assure that... nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected."

Contrary to the above, as of August 27, 1987, post maintenance test results that failed to meet acceptance criteria had not been adequately evaluated. As a result of the inadequate evaluations, these unsatis-factory test results were not identified and subsequently corrected. Two instances were noted where completed test results of 480 volts (MR No.86-273) and 520 volts (MR No. 86-14-25) had exceeded the acceptance criteria of 460 volts specified in Procedure No. 3.M.4-10, Attachment C, Revision 6.

Both test results had been accepted as satisfactorily com-pleted following a supervisory and a Quality Control review on April 10, 1986 and August 15, 1987, respectively.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) applicable to DPR-35.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Boston Edison Company is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
