Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in
the enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection
consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
We have examined actions you have taken with regard to previously

These are discussed in the enclosed inspection

and references to pertinent requirements are listed in the Notice of
Violation enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
This notice is sent to you
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's "Rules of

APPENDIX A
Virginia Electric and Power Company
Surry
License No. DPR-37
Based on the NRC inspection August 14-17, 1979, certain of your activities
were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements
as indicated below.
These items have been categorized as described in
correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
As required by 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix XII, "Measures shall be
established to assure that tools, gauges, instruments, and other
measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality
are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified
periods to maintain accuracy within necessary limits".
Contrary to the above, during the above noted inspection, a set of
uncontrolled outside micrometers (12 inch to 18 inch, manufactured
by Starrett, model number 724) were located in the pipe refurbishment
building where work was being performed.
The calibration sticker
on these outside micrometers specify a due date of July 1979;
therefore, this instrument was out of calibration. In addition,
there were no control or identification markings on the micrometer
to verify that this item was part of VEPCO's calibration control
system.
This is a deficiency .
