-'"violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50,59(a)(1) provides in part that a licensee may make changes to the facility as described in the safety analysis report without prior Commission approval, unless the proposed change involves a change to the technical specifications (TS) incorporated in the license.
10 CFR 50.59(c) provides in part that licensees who desire to make changes in the facility which involve a change in technical specifications shall submit an application for an amendment pursuant to 50.90.
Contrary to the above, the licensee made a change to the facility as described in the safety analysis report that involved a change to the TS without submitting a TS amendment prior to implementation.
As of October 18, 1993, motor operated valves SM-V-4A, 4B, 4C, 24A, 24B,
- 24C, 44, and 54 had been changed from motor operated valves to manually operated
