PRELIMINARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE UNTIL VERIFICATION THAT LICENSEE HAS RECEIVED ACTION PRELIMINARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE UNTIL VERIFICATION THAT LICENSEE HAS RECEIVED ACTION March 29, 2007 EN-07-017 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee:
Dominion Energy Kewaunee (EA-07-058)
Kewaunee Power Station Docket No. 05000305
Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation associated with a Yellow significance determination process finding will be issued on or around April 3, 2007, to Dominion Energy Kewaunee as a result of inspections at the Kewaunee Power Station. This Yellow finding, an issue of substantial importance to safety that will result in additional U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection and potentially other NRC action, involved the failure of plant personnel to follow procedural requirements and enter a fuel leak on the A emergency diesel generator (EDG) into the corrective action program on June 28, 2006, when the leak was first identified. This failure resulted in the leak not being appropriately evaluated and repaired until August 17, 2006. Subsequent testing performed on the leaking fuel oil system components indicated that they would have failed completely after four hours of diesel operation during an accident and would have rendered the A EDG inoperable.
A Notice of Violation is included based on a violations of Technical Specification and plant procedures for failure to enter the EDG fuel oil leak into the stations corrective action program.
Specifically, the licensee did not complete an Action Request for the fuel oil leak on the A EDG as required by plant procedures.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Final Significance Determination April 3, 2007 Telephone Notification of Licensee April 3, 2007 The State of Wisconsin will be notified.
