APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Portland General Electric Company Docket No: 50-344 Trojan Nuclear Plant License No: NPF-1 During an NRC inspection conducted from October 18 through November 21, 1987, two 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 violations are listed below: CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states in part, " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance witn these instructions, procedures or drawings."

Plant periodic operating test, P0T-28-1, Core Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio Verification, Revision 8, specifies in part that QPTR values exceeding 1.020 after calculations using nuclear instrumentation detector voltages shall be confirmed by performing c nuclear instrumentation detector current calculatio Contrary to the above, during three instances of required technical specifications surveillance testing performed on Saptember 12, September 19, and September 26, 1987, (fetector current calculations were not performed after detector voltage calculations showed QPTR values

,

exceeding 1.0 This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I). Technical specification 4.10.1.2 states, "Each full length rod not fully inserted shall be demonstrated operable by verifying its rod drop time to be less than or equal to 2.2 seconds within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to reducing the shutdown margin to less than the limits of Specification 3.1.1.1."

Contrary to the above, during low power physics testing conducted in July 1985, September 1984, and July 1983, rod drop time measurement was perfornied for only one full length control rod (at location K-06) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to reducing the shutdown margin to less than the limits of Specification 3.1. This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
