i NOTICE OF VIOLATION TU Electric Docket Nos.: 50-445 50-446 Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station License Nos.: NPF-87 NPF-89 l

During an NRC inspection conducted on February 10-14,1997, one violation of NRC l requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and l Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below: '

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.IV.2.g, states that any weaknesses or deficiencies that are identified during training, including exercises, shall be corrected.

Contrary to the above, as of February 12,1997, the licensee had not corrected a weakness involving implementation of site evacuation procedures that was identified during an emergency preparedress inspection conducted during the period September 25-29,1995. During the September 1995 inspection, the emergency coordinator did not consider wind direction when evacuating personnel from the site; personnel were instructed to evacuate through the simulated plume. During this inspection, a site evacuation was not ordered in a timely manner. Both failures were attributed to procedural adherence.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement Vllt) (50-445/9704-03; 50-446/9704-03).
