ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket No. 50-370 McGuire Unit 2 License No. NPF-17 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on November 7,1987 - January 13, 1988, a violation of NRC requirenients was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violation is identified below:

10 CFR, Appendix B, Criterion XI, requires that a test program be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. The test program shall include, as appropriate, proof tests prior to installation, pre-operational tests, and operational tests during nuclear power plant operation, of structures, systems, and components. Test results shall be documented and evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied.

Contrary to the above, the test program established to demonstrate that the component cooling system will perform satisfactorily in service was inadequate in that five of the six tests perfomed between the dates of September 4, and October 9,1987 failed revealing that the associated train of component cooling was inoperable. In as much as a test program is, by design, established to maintain system operability, the repeated inoperability of the tested components is indicative of an inadequate program.

This is a Severity level IV violation (Supplement I) and is applicable to Unit 2 only.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Duke Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, McGuire, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice. This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include: (1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance 8802090564 800204 gDR ADOCK050%3j9 J

will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time. If an adequate reply is not received within the i time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. .
