2-APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION GPU Nuclear Corporation Docket No. 50-219 Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station License No. DPR-16 As a result of the inspection conducted from August 18 - October 5, 1986 and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register on March 8, 1984 (49 FR 8583), the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests and Experiments, permits licensees to make changes in the facility and procedures described in the Safety Analysis Report provided the change neither involves a change in the Technical Specifications or is an unreviewed safety question. This part further requires that for changes which are made, written safety evaluations be maintained which provide the catermination that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

Contrary to the above, between June 29 and July 18, 1986, changes were made to Procedure 307, Isolation Condenser System, Revision 27, and Pro-cedure 2000-ABN-3200.01, Reactor Scram, Revision 2, which permit, on a high water level condition in the reactor, the manual overriding of the automatic initiation of the isolation condensers. The isolation con-densers are an engineered safety feature described in the Final Safety Analysis Report and are the key components in the Isolation Condenser system required by the Technical Specifications to be operable whenever the reactor coolant temperature is greater than 212 F. For this change, no written safety evaluation was prepared to determine that the change was not an unreviewed safety question.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, GPU Nuclear Corporation is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 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) corrective 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.
