I NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES Alabama Power Company Docket Nos. 50-348 and 50-364 I Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8 l Units 1 and 2 EA 87-142 I i

During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (N.RC) inspections conducted on May 11-22, June 1-5, and June 11-July 10, 1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the l Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposes to impose two civil penalties pursuant to l Section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (Act), 42 U.S.C. 2282, '
and 10 CFR 2.205. The particular violations and associated civil penalties are set forth below: I l
I. Inadequate Control and Installation of Purchased Equin pt A. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services, requires that measures be estab-lished to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conform to the procurement documents. These measures shall include
( provisions, as appropriate, for source evaluation and selection, j l objective evidence of quality furnished by the contractor or sub-l contractor, and inspection at the source. Documentary evidence that material and equipment conform to the procurement requirements is required to be available at the nuclear power plant prior to installation or use of such material and equipment.
Contrary to the above, at the time of the inspections, the licensee had nine circuit breakers with unconfirmed seismic qualification and
, voltage ratings installed in safety-related motor control centers at l Farley Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2. The circuit breakers were sold by Satin American Corporation as seismically qualified safety-related l circuit breakers acceptable for installation into 600-V motor control I centers. The vendor provided inadequate justification for seismic and 600-V qualification. No testing or analysis that would qualify the use of these breakers as installed had been done either by the licensee or the vendor. Moreover, although the vendor represented that the circuit breakers were fully qualified for 600-V applications, the licensee should have been alerted to a possible problem since the breakers were still affixed with an Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
rating of 480-V.
B. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis for those structures, systems, and components te which this appendix applies are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. It also requires that measures be established for the selection and review for suitability of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of structures, systems and components.

Notice of-Violation '
Contrary to the above, the licensee installed a number of commercial' l grade parts at Farley' Nuclear Plant Units 1 and.2- without adequately.
evaluating their suitability for use'in. safety-relatediapplications.
These parts were in use at the time of the inspections indicated above. Specifically:
- 1. Commercialgrade.circuitbreakersweheinstalledintosafety-related motor control centers =10 and 2U.
- 2. A commercial grade "Namco". limit' switch was installed as a. . ;
replacement for safety-related switch.for the accumulatorLtank'- '
isolation valve. 1
- 3. A commercial grade torque switch was" installed into;a' safety-'
related Limitorque motor actuator. Limitorque.has. stated that _
l although the' safety-related and-commercial-grade. torque switches-l for-outside. containment are.the same,.the switches orderedlas:
safety-related received ' additional quality assurance, checks :at -
Limitorque that were not performed on-the commercial grade switches. There was no-evidence that the licensee made additional, quality assurance checks on the torque switch.
~
- 4. Commercial grade hinge pin. bushings were. installed in safety-related Anchor / Darling tilting disk check' valves;in the auxiliary-feedwater system. j
- 5. A commercial grade Agastat timing relay (ATR) was-installed'as a replacement.in' safety-related panel #Q2R16B007-B, 600-V load l distribution panel. Additionally, commercial grade'ATRs were d found in other safety-related electrical enclosures including j two ATRs in diesel generator 1oad. sequencer panel #Q2R43E5018-B,- .
and two ATRs in diesel generator relay terminal box #Q1R43E506-B. R g Collectively, these violations have been evaluated as'a Severity; Level III problem (Supplement I).
Cumulative Civil Penalty - $25,000 (assessed equally between the violations).
II. Inadequate Corrective Actions and Inspections A. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Act' ion,. requires ,
that measures be established to assure that conditi'ons adverse,to:
quality, such as fai. lures, defective material and. equipment,.and:
nonconformances are promptly identified and co'rrected. In the case.
of significant conditions. adverse to quality,'m'easures are required :
to assure-that the cause.of-the. condition'is determined and c'orrec- J tive action is taken to preclude repetition. The identification: of '
the significant condition adverse'to quality, the_cause of the; condition, and the corrective action taken are also required,to be documented'and reported ~to appropriate; levels'of management.
l' L Centrary to the above, the inspectors identified.five instances' where' at:the time of the.; inspections, the licensee had failed to take adequate corrective action:
, i
l Notice of Violation '
- 1. A 10 CFR Part 21 notification by the Henry Pratt Company in May 1985 detailed problems with Pratt . valves using Limitorque l operators. This problem was not correctly or completely i dispositioned in that seven valves were determined'to be defective afte" the NRC inspection.
- 2. A 10 CFR Part 21 notification by the Anchor / Darling Valve Company in June 1985 detailed failures with tilting disk check valve hinge pin bushings. This problem was not completely dispositioned in that only check valves in the Auxiliary Feedwater System were ,
inspected. Other safety-related systems were not inspected.
- 3. A Colt Industries Service Information Letter (SIL), A-2, dated f February 1985, entitled " Blower Installation," was evaluated by )
the licensee, but not all the corrective actions determined to be appropriate by the Alabama Power Company engineering review were implemented -in that SIL A-2,.which gives service instruc-tions, was never placed in the Colt Industries' Emergency Diesel controlled vendor manual, j
- 4. Maintenance Work Request Nos. 44439 and 67875, which have j implemented corrective actions to the four control room fire !
damper electrical circuits to ensure that the circuits would I function as desired, were not completed. )
3
- 5. In April 1986, the licensee identified cracks in a number of cells of the safety-related station batteries. Despite the q fact that NRC Information Notice 84-83 identified that such !
conditions can be caused by the use of hydrocarbon-based i solvents for cleaning purposes, the licensee had not updated I one of three pertinent electrical' maintenance-procedures to adaress the problem.
B. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, Inspection, as implemented I by Section 17 of the Final Safety Analysis Report and the Joseph M. ;
Farley Operations Quality Assurance Policy Manual, requires that inspection of activities affecting quality be established and executed to verify conformance with the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activity.
Contrary to the above, on June 2, 1987, both Train B, 125-V Service Water (SW) battery racks, were found to be improperly installed and mounted creating an unanalyzed condition concerning seismic qualifi- .
cation. Specifically, the concrete anchor bolt nuts on all Train B l battery rack anchors were backed off and used as leveling nuts for i the rack, thus providing no preload on the concrete anchors. The battery racks were improperly installed in the SW Train B battery ,
room approximately one year prior to this inspection and remained in j this' unanalyzed condition until it was identified by the NRC inspector 1 on June 2, 1987.
Collectively these violations have been evaluated as a Severity Level III
]
problem (Supplement I).
Cumulative Civil Penalty - $25,000 (assessed equally between the. violations).
