APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Company of New Hampshire Docket No. 50-443 Seabrook Unit 1 License No. NPF-56 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 3 - March 9, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identifieo. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions", 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix 0 (Enforcement Policy 1986), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III and the Seabrook Station FSAR, Section 17.1.1.3 require that measures be established to assure that applicable regu-latory requirements and the design basis for safety related structures, sys-tems and components are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions. FSAR Section 9.4.1 states that the control room makeup air subsystem is capable of normally maintaining a positive pressure within the complex at all times with respect to adjacent areas and the outside atmosphere to prevent the infiltration of air from local areas which could under certain circumstances contain objectionable contaminants. Station operating procedure OS1023.51 provides the method to be used in operating the makeup ventilation subsystem.
Contrary to the above, on March 3, 1987, the control room makeup air subsystem was identified to be in a configuration which did not preclude the infiltra-tion of air which could contain objectionable contaminants. This lineup did not take into account leakage past normally closed valves with a makeup air fan operating. This problem was' caused by a change to 05 1023.51 (Revision
- 3) which did not adequately address the complete design basis of the control room makeup air subsystem, as was supportable by existing design calculations.
Specifically, a lineup for operation with the normally open intake isolated and makeup supplied from the normally isolated intake was not considered or documented by the procedural change. This failure to translate the design basis into a procedural requirement resulted in an inappropriate system con-figuration, as identified on March 3, 1987.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Company of New Hampshire is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the let-ter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, includ-ing: (1) the reason for the violation, if admitted; (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where gcod cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.

APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Company of New Hampshire Docket No. 50-443 Seabrook Unit 1 License No. NPF-56 i
During an NRC inspection conducted on January 3 - March 9, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions", 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy 1986), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III and the Seabrook Station FSAR, Section 17.1.1.3 require that measures be established to assure that applicable regu-latory requirements and the design basis for safety related structures, sys-tems and components are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions. FSAR Section 9.4.1 states that the control room makeup air subsystem is capable of normally maintaining a positive pressure within the complex at all times with respect to adjacent areas and the outside atmosphere to prevent the infiltration of air from local areas which could under certain circumstances contain objectionable contaminants. Station operating procedure 051023.51 provides the method to be used in operating the makeup ventilation subsystem.
Contrary to the above, on March 3, 1987, the control room makeup air subsystem was identified to be in a configuration which did not preclude the infiltra-tion of air which could contain objectionable contaminants. This lineup did not take into account leakage past normally closed valves with a makeup air fan operating. This problem was caused by a change to OS 1023.51 (Revision
- 3) which did not adequately address the complete design basis of the control room makeup air subsystem, as was supportable by existing design calculations.
Specifically, a lineup for operation with the normally open intake isolated and makeup supplied from the normally isolated intake was not considered or documented by the procedural change. This failure to translate the design basis into a procedural requirement resulted in an inappropriate system con-figuration, as identified on March 3, 1987.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Company of New Hampshire is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the let-ter transmitting'this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, includ-ing: (1) the reason for the violation, if admitted; (2) the corrective steps which
,have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (4) the date when full compliance will be
( achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
