i: )i ENCLOSURE I NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River Unit 3 License No. DPR-72 During the Nuclear. Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 19 and 20, 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In ,

accordance with~ the " General . Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC '

. Enforement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, 53 Federal Regulation 40019

.(October 13, 1988), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1.c requires the establishment and  !

implementation of written procedures for surveillance activities of i safety related equipment.

Technical Specification 3.0.4 states that Entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicable condition shall not be made unless the conditions of the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met without reliance on provisions contained in the ACTION statements unless otherwise excepted.

Technical Specification 3.7.1.2 states: Two independent steam generator emergency feedwater pumps and associated flow paths shall be OPERABLE with: a. One emergency feedwater pump capable of being powered from an OPERABLE emergency bus, and ... The applicable modes are MODES 1, 2, and 3.

Contrary to the above, no surveillance procedure was written or implemented to test all automatic start logic paths for the motor {

operated Emergency Feedwater Pump (EFP-1). The lack of surveillance l was made evident during the review following a start failure of EFP-1 on June 16, 1989, when an automatic start was demanded due to loss of j off-site power with no emergency safeguards signal present~. Additionally, '

due to a less than adequate review of root cause of the failure of EFP-1

~

to automatically start when an automatic start signal was present the reactor was operated in modes 1, 2, and 3 with EFP-1 inoperable, in one of its start logics, with out entry into the appropriate LCO from June 16, 1989, to June 23, 1989. Mode changes were made from mode 3 to. 2 to 1 with the EFP inoperable for the above mentioned start logic.

i This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power Corporation 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 i Resident Inspector, Crystal River 3, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
