APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Philadelphia Electric Company Docket No. 50-352 Limerick Unit 1 License No. NPF-39 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 23-27, 1989, and in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy 1989),

s the following violation was identified:

License Condition C.(3) Fire Protection, stipulates that the licensee shall maintain in effect all provisions of the approved Fire Protection program described in the Fire Protection Evaluation Report.

The Fire Protection Evaluation Report, in Section 3.1.1, Item 38, states that 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> fire barriers are .provided to separate Unit 1 structures from Unit 2 structures, and common structures such as the control structure are separated from the adjacent structures of both reactor enclosures by 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> fire barriers.

Contrary to the above, a door separating the Unit 1 cable spreading room from the Unit 2 cable spreading room was not 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> fire rated.

The door was not rated because it would stay latched only by the use of electromagnets. Loss of power to the magnetic contacts as a result of a fire in either cable spreading room could render the door and the entire barrier inoperable.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Philadelphia Electric Company is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
