September 8, 2004 EN-04-044 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Virginia Electric and Power Company (EA-04-005)
Surry Power Station Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281
Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation associated with a White Significance Determination Process (SDP) finding will be issued on or around September 13, 2004, to Virginia Electric and Power Company as a result of inspections at Surry Power Station. This White finding, an issue with low to moderate increased importance to safety, involved Surry fire response procedures that were not effective in ensuring a safe shutdown of either unit during a postulated severe fire in the Emergency Switchgear and Relay Rooms. Specifically, these procedures may not preclude an extended loss of reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal injection flow, resulting in an RCP seal loss of coolant accident. As a result, in the event of such a severe fire, there would not be reasonable assurance the facility would be able to maintain pressurizer level within the indicating range, as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. This condition also represented a violation of 10 CFR 50.48 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.L. Accordingly, a Notice of Violation associated with the White finding is being issued.
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 September 13, 2004 Telephone Notification of Licensee September 13, 2004 The State of Virginia will be notified.
