APFENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Louisiana Power & Light Company Docket: 50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Operating License: NPF-38 During an NRC inspection conducted July 1-31, 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved a failure to take adequate corrective actions with regard to missing seismic supports in the core protection calculator cabinets. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violation is listed below:

Failure to Perform Adequate Corrective Actions Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in ;. art, that measures shall be established to assure that condition'. iidverse to quality, such as deficiencies and nonconformances, are promptly identified and corrected, and that the causes be detennined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

Contrary to the above, actions taken to preclude repetition of a September 1988 incident where component seismic supports were found not installed in the core protection calculator (CPC) cabinets, were inadequate in that again on July 27, 1989, seismic supports for the CPC cooling fans in the CPC cabinets were found not completely installed.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I)(50-382/8922-03)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Louisiana Power & Light Company is hereby required to submit to this office, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (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 l (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, l consideration will be given to extending the response time.
