ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (PP5L)
Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES)
Unit 1 and Unit 2 Docket Nos. 50-387, 50-388 License Nos. NPF-14, NPF-22 During an NRC inspection conducted from October 21, 1997 to December 8, 1997, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
SSES Unit 2 Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Item 9.a. of Appendix A to RG 1.33, requires procedures for maintenance that can affect the performance of safety related equipment.
Contrary to the above, on March 23, 1997, the maintenance procedure for replacement of the bonnet vent line for reactor recirculation system valve HV-2F031B was inadequate in that it did not ensure the original vent line support configuration was maintained.
As a result, the vent line suffered a vibration induced failure and caused a loss of reactor coolant with the reactor at power.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) ~

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
