SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT N05. 50-325/97-02, 50 324/97 02
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Campbell:
On March 1,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Brunswick reactor
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspction.
During the six weeks covered by this inspection period our inspectors found
that your staff generally took a safety conscious approach to the activities
conducted at the Brunswick plant. We are concerned, however, about six
violations of NRC requirements that were identified. The first violation was
for failure to follow an o)erating procedure for restoring an open valve to a
locked closed position. T11s violation was of concern because independent
verification failed to detect this error. The second violation was a
maintenance rule violation for failure to adequately do a historical search of
system surveillance testing. This violation was of concern because the
reactor protection system circuit breakers were not properly classified and
were being incorrectly monitored. The third violation was for failure to have
adequate design control measures for design verification of configuration
changes. This violation was of concern because design verification is
required to be performed to insure that the design basis is properly
translated into design output. The fourth violation was for failure to
implement an inspection program for safety related miscellaneous structural
steel. This violation was of concern because the inspection requirements to
ensure proper installation had been deleted. The fifth violation was for
failure to take prompt corrective action once a discrepancy was identified for
an Emergency Core Cooling System stroke time values. This violation was of
concern because when this discrepancy was first identified no action was taken
'
to correct plant p ocedures to indicate the correct stroke time values. The ;
sixth violation was for failure to have chemicals identified as required by .
quality assurance requirements. This violation was a concern because of the I
prcgrammatic problems identified.
The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the
circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the
enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter
and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when
