APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duquesne Light Company Docket No. 50-334 Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 License No. DPR-66 As a result of the inspection conducted on February 1 -March 15, 1987, and in accordance with the " General Statenent of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XIV, Inspection, Tests, and Operating Status, requires that measures be established for indicating the operating status of systems such as by tagging valves to prevent inadvertent operation. OM Chap-ter 1.48.68, Mechanical and Electrical Clearance Procedures, provides detailed

%tructions for controlling plant configuration that require equipment re-nM and restoration by the use of red danger tags to define the clearance W 4ry points and control room status boards to identify components out of crcAl tystem alignment.

Contrary to the above, the A degassifier was returned to service on February 13, 1987, without adhering to the requirements of OM 1.48.68 in that all clearance points were not returned to normal system alignment prior to re-turning the degassifier to service. Specifically, various vent lines were left open that were not identified on the equipment clearance or control room status boards, resulting in a minor unplanned radioactive gas release to the primary auxiliary building.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Duquesne Light Company is hereby re-quired to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) cor-rective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
