g ENCLOSURE I NOTICE OF VIOLATION l B runswick ~ Docket Nos. 50-325 and 50-324 Units 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-71 and DPR-62 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on January 9-13 and 23-27, 1989, 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 (1986), the violations are listed below:

A. 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, states " measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunc-tions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective 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 shall be documented and reported to appropriate levels of management.

Contrary to the above, measures have not been taken that would assure that the causes of conditions were determined and that corrective action was taken to preclude repetition. Brunswick management actions have not been effective in promptly implementing corrective actions for previously identified problems. Corrective actions have not been performed in a timely manner, for significant conditions adverse to quality in the following instances:

1. The manufacturer stated that continued RHR and CS motor reliability was based on successful completion of resistance testing and maintenance of motor stator temperature. The licensee had failed to take any action for five months after receiving this information.

2. The RHR motor 2C developed an oil leak in the upper oil reservoir. -

No action was taken on the work request for over one year. The oil leak was reported to have saturated the motor windings and has existed for at least three years.

3. The HPCI turbine oil began experiencing water contamination in early 1987. Water contamination samples remained high for an extended period, samples were not taken for one year following initially high contamination levels, and the root cause for the source of the water is still in question.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).

protect sensitive surfaces of components and fittings in that the following was noted:

A number of examples wherr- c as and covers were missing from openings in valves and fittings, to.. . soy not affording protection to sensitive internal surfaces and fiW.shed machined weld end preparations and flange faces. The team also noted an expansion unit without protec-tion afforded to the bellows section. These conditions were noted in various locations throughout the warehouse facility.
