! NOTICE OF VIOLATION Centerior Service Company Docket No. 50-440 Perry Nuclear Power Plant License No. NPF-58 During an NRC inspection conducted from February 23 through March 5,1998, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:

1. Perry Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1.a specifies, in part,

, that written procedures shall be implemented covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Appendix A of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, specifies activities that should be controlled by written procedures. Equipment control, such as tagging, is a specified activity.

Perry Administrative Procedure PAP-1401, " Safety Tagglng," Revision 8 (January 1995),

requires,in part, that the operating representative assigned to remove tags shallverify the tag to be the correct tag, remove the tag and reposition the component as specified in the desired position block on the Temporary Lift Form.

Contrary to the above, on February 27,1998, a licensed operator incorrectly removed a red tag and installed a fuse for the annulus exhaust gas treatment system instead of installing the fuse for the emergency service water ventilation system as directed by the Temporary Lift Form. The operator failed to verify that the tag to be removed was the '

correct tag as specified on the Temporary Lift Form.

l This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplemen'.1). I

2. Criterion 111 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, " Design Control," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

Contrary to the above, between January 26,1996, and February 26,1998, the licensee failed to translate a more conservative design basis division-3 emergency diesel generator (DG) fuel oil calculation R45-9, Revision 4, into the TS document. The calculation determined that a fuel oil quantity of 36,700 gallons was needed to meet a 7-day run requirement, which exceeded the TS minimum requirement of 36,100 gallons.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Centerior Service Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.:
