1988, and in accordance with 10 CFR Part 1 Appendix C - General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (1987), the following violations were identified:

3 ,

1. Technical Specification 3.3.1 requires, in part, that with the number of operable reactor protection system (RPS) instrumentation channels less than required by the Minimum Operable Channels per Trip System requirement for both trip systems, place the trip system with the most number of inoperable channels in the tripped condition within one hour.

Contrary to the above, on February 27, 1988, the Minimum Operable Channels per Trip System requirement was not met for both RPS trip systems due to improperly calibrated Average Power Range Monitoring instrumentation channels for a continuous period of I hour and 12 m%utes, while neither RPS trip system was in the tripped condition.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

2. 10 CFR 50.55a(g), as implemented by the licensee's Inservice Test Program for Pumps and Valves, requires, in part, that valve stroke time measure-ments for valves subject to such testing be accurate to the nearest 1 second for valves with maximum allowable stroke times of 10 seconds or less and, accurate to the nearest 10% of the maximum allowable stroke time for valves with maximum allowable stroke times greater than 10 seconds.

Contrary to the above, valve stroke time measurements conducted prior to March 1988 for valves 1E12-F024A, 1E12-F0248, 1E12-F073B, 1E22-F0012, 1E51-F0068, 1G33-F0001 and, 1G50-F0272, did not meet the specified requirements due to inaccuracies in remote valve position indication ',

utilized for the measurements.

This is a Severity Level IV v'<>iet.on (Supplement I).

i Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (1) corrective action L taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

I Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause I shown.
