ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION System Energy Resources, Inc. Docket No. 50-416 Grand Gulf License No. NPF-29 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on July 15 through August 25, 1989, 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 (1989), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2. February 1978. Regula-tory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, recommends that procedures for activities-such as record retention, sampling of gaseous effluent systems and instrument air systems and should be covered by written procedures.

a. Surveillance Procedure 06-CH-1017-W-0017, Gaseous Release Points Iodines, Tritium and Particulate, Step 5.1, Preparation of Filter Holder, requires installation of clean filters in the clean filter holders.

Contrary to the above, the filter used for determining the Technical Specification iodine activity for the fuel handling area vent was not installed during the period July 19 through July 26, 1989.

b. Chemistry Procedure 08-S-03-21, Sampling Instrument Air Supply to ADS, Step 6.7, requires that if sample results are above the listed specifications, a MNCR be initiated with a seven day review.

Chemistry Procedure 08-S-03-10, Chemistry Sampling Program, Appendix 5, Action 3, requires notification of Nuclear Plant Engineering of the results and specifies that an engineering evaluation should be performed within seven days if results do not meet design specifications.

Contrary to the above, from October 1986 to October 1989, seven instrument air samples were performed which did not meet the sample acceptance criteria but only three MNCR's were generated and these did not meet the seven day evaluation period.

c. Chemistry Procedure 08-S-03-10, Chemistry Sampling Program, Attachment I, Item 53, requires instrument air to be sampled on a semi-annual basis.

~

Contrary to the above, the required semi-annual instrument air sample for 1989 was not obtained and analyzed.

d. Administrative Procedure 01-S-05-1, Nuclear Records Procedure, Step 6.2.1, requires, Superintendents / Supervisors to deliver plant records to records management for entry into the records system and storage as soon as practical after completion, but no later than 80 days.

Contrary to the above, the Chemistry Department failed to deliver instrument air sample data to records management for the 1988 samples.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, System Energy Resources, Inc. 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. This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the licente should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
