APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION i

Public Service Electric and Gas Company Docket No: 50-354 Hope Creek Generating Station License No: NPF-57 l

During an NRC inspection conducted on February 2,1997 to March 17,1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy ,

and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

l 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V requires in part that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with established procedures. These

procedures shallinclude appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria.

J PSE&G Nuclear Administrative Procedure NC.NA-AP.ZZ-0023 (Q), Revision 4,

" Scaffolding and Transient Loads Control," requires that scaffolding installed in the

. (Hope Creek) station be appropriately tracked in a control log, periodically inspected ,

l for compliance with construction criteria, and promptly removed after completion of l I

the work activity requiring the scaffolding. '

1 Contrary to the above, on February 26,1997, it was determined that several scaffolds installed in safety-related areas, including the "A" and "B" RHR pump i rooms and the standby liquid control pump room in the reactor building of the Hope Creek station lacked appropriate construction documentation, had insufficient  ;

periodic inspections, and were not removed within a timely manner following the l work activities that required the temporary structures.

l l This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).  !

l Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Pubic Service Electric and Gas Company is l hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear  !

Regulatory Commission, ATTN
