In a:cordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1935), the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50, Appendix P. Criterion V requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

The Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual, Part I, Section 2.16, Step 2.1.1.F implements this requirement by specifying that a condition adverse to quality shall be documented on a CAQR for items which have been cubjected to conditions for which they have not been designed such as overpressure, overvoltage, overheating, overstressing, or excessive environmental conditions. Further, Step 2.1.1.A requires a CAQR be initiated for items

that have failed or malfunctioned.

Contrary to the above, a CAQR was not generated to document a condition adverse to quality that occurred during the conduct of Special Test 88-09, Diesel Generator Governor and Voltage Regulator Cslibration, on June 21,

1988. Diesel Generator "0" was inadvertently overloaded for a period of 30

l seconds during which time the control room indications of kilowatts (KW),

4 kilovars (KVAR), and imperage ( AMPS) were of tscale high. The malfunction

was, in part, a result of a failed GE SEM switch in the diesel generator breaker comparteent.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) and is applicable to all three units.
