i- NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Long Island Lighting Company Docket No. 50-322

Shoreham Nuclear Power Station License No. NPF-36

During an NRC inspection conducted on July 29 - August 12, 1985 a violation of

NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved conducting startup test

program test activities not fully in accordance with the governing procedures,

j In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC En-

forcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation is listed

below.

A. 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V requires in part that " activities affect-

ing quality shall be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be ac-

complished in accordance with these procedures." Technical Specification

i 6.8.1 contains similar requirements.

Contrary to the above, during the startup testing program three examples

were identified wherein test personnel did not implement their governing

procedures for activities affecting quality. First, on August 8, 1985,

while performing a control rod drive friction test on selected control

rods, test personnel did not connect the pressure differential test box

with the control rod fully inserted and conduct the settling friction test

on rod 18-27 with the cooling water valve closed as required in procedure

STP-5.8.2. Second, during inspector review of test results on August 9,

1985, it was noted that test personnel did not prepare a test exception

for those level indicators (1821-LT-154/155 and 1C61-LI-004) that did not

j meet the test acceptance criteria of STP-9.8.1 as required by the admini-

strative procedure SP-12-075.01. Third, during inspector review of test

results on August 11, 1985, it was noted that test personnel did not

evaluate the settling friction test of control rod 18-27 in the manner

4

prescribed in procedure STP-5.8.2 in that the rod had been identified as

'

having passed the test acceptance criteria, whereas the analysis performed

as prescribed in the procedure showed that the rod (18-27) did not satisfy.

the acceptance criteria.

' The consequences of each of the above procedure non-compliances on plant

operations, testing and safety are minimal and each item was corrected by

the licensee when identified. When considered together, these examples

constitute a violation. This is a Severity Level V violation

(Supplement I).

! Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Shoreham Nuclear Power Station

i 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
