ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River Unit 3 Licei,se No. DPR-72 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 12 - April 15, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

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

Technical Specification 4.4.4.2 requires that the emergency power supply for the pressurizer heaters shall be demonstrated operable every 18 months by manually transferring power from the normal to the emergency power source and energizing the heaters.
