9 APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation Docket No. 50-271 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-28 As a result of the inspegtion conducted on June 3-12, 1985, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion IV, requires measures to assure that requirements necessary to assure adequate quality are included in procurement documents. Criterion VIII further requires measures to control parts and components to prevent the use of incorrect or defective material.

Section IV of the Yankee Operational Quality Assurance Manual, YOQAP-1-A, Rev.

15, and Sections VII and VIII of YAEC Operating Guideline No. 1, Rev. 7, require t"aceability of the identification of parts to drawings, specificacions, and purchase orders, and documented verification prior to release for use. Small spare parts with no traceability (as specified in Appendix C to YOQAP-1-A) must be qualified for use. Procedure AP 0800, Rev.

11, specifies that material requiring quality assurance be ordered with Appendix A, " Quality Assurance Requirements" included. Procedure AP 0310, Rev. O, alternately specifies that if off-the-shelf parts are used rather than traceable parts, a 100-hour burn-in period'is required for qualification testing.

Contrary to the above, as of June 10, 1985, two parts designated as safety related on the Safety Related Class IE Instrument List were purchased and installed without having Appendix A to AP 0800, " Quality Assurance Require-ments" included in the procurement documents, nor documented verification of traceability of the parts, nor alternative qualification testing performed prior to_ return to service. These parts had minimal safety significance.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation 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.
