ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Company Docket No. 50-425 Vogtle Unit 2 Licease No. CPPR-109 f

During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on February 1-4, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedur? for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed ,

below:

10 CFR, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that activities affecting quality shall _ be prescribed by documented procedures and shall be accomplished  !

in accordance with these procedures. In Section 17.1.2 of the SAR, the l licensee committed to a quality assurance program which will comply with the quality assurance criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

! Procedure 25733-C, Revision 4 "High Potential Testing Cable", Paragraph

, 4.15 states that, if leakage current increases with tine, extend the test period to 15 minutes. Procedure 25733-C, Revision 4, Paragraph 4.11 .

states that the test voltage will be 56kV DC for cable bus in a SkV rated system. Procedure 25733-C, Revision 4, Paragraph 3.3 states that, if work ,

is safety-related, notify QC prior to start of work. Procedure 25733-C,

• Revision 4, Paragraph 3.2 requires the persons performing the test to detennine the safety classification of the equipment and check the appropriated classification on the Completion Sheet. '

Contrary to the above, Procedure 25733-C, Revision 4 was not always '

followed as described in the following four cases. When testing cable No. 2AA0204EA (feeder to nuclear service cooling water pump A motor) on l September 15, 1987, the leakage current for Phase C conductor was slowly  ;

increasing, but the test was stopped at five minutes. When testing the cable bus from emergency generator A, on July 30, 1987, a test voltage equal to 36kV DC was applied. For 30 of the 42 required tests, Quality

. Control was not notified prior to start of work. For 21 of the 42 required tests the safety class lfication was not properly checked on the completion sheet.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Sepplement II).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Power Company is hereby  :

required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory i

Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, ano a copy to the NRC Resident i Inspector, Vogtle Unit 2, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting 8803250099 880318 PDR ADOCK 05000425 ,
