NOTICE OF VIOLATION I

Alabama Power Company Docket Nos. 50-348 and 50-364 I i Farley Units 1 & 2 License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on November 2-6, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violation is listed 1 below:

Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1.c requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering surveillance and test activities of safety-related equipment. Farley Nuclear Piant (FNP)

Administrative Procedure, FNP-0-AP-16, " Conduct of Operation" allows operations memorandum be used as a vehicle for disseminating information or instructions relative to the conduct of operations. FNP Intra Department Memorandum dated September 9,1985, provides instructions for filling out Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Test Data Logs in order to comply with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.108 requirements.

Contrary to the above, the EDG Test Data Logs from October 1985 to present were not completed as specified in the September 9,1985, Operations Intra Department Memorandum. Examples of omissions include not logging reasons for invalid EDG tests and failures, not logging EDG start times, and not properly logging reasons for EDG starts.

In addition, the Intra Department Memorandum is incorrect in that Criteria B(b) of the memorandum does not comply with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.108 for evaluation of valid and invalid EDG tests and failures. Adherence to this memorandum could result in an improper evaluation of a EDG test and failure.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Alabama Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
