APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry License No. DPR-32 Based on the NRC inspection August 5-6, 1980, 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 Criterion V of Appendix B to 10CFR50, as implemented by Virginia Electric and Power Company Topical Report VEP-l-3A, "Quality Assurance Program - Operations Phase",
Section 17.2.5, "Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, proce-dures,..... ".
IE Bulletin 79-14, "Seismic Analysis for As-Built Safety Related Piping Systems", specifies that the licensee should assure that he is promptly notified when the Architect/Engineer identifies a nonconformance and that the significance of nonconformances with respect to system opera-bility be evaluated by engineering judgement within two days of identifica-tion and by analysis within 30 days of identification.
Contrary to the above, procedures issued to accomplish IE Bulletin 79-14 do not properly address the timely evaluation and analysis of identified nonconformances or the prompt notification of VEPCO of these items. Stress problem 3033 illustrates the results of these inadequate procedures in that significant overstresses identified by the initial analysis on December 1, 1979 were not examined by an independent reviewer until February 1, 1980 and VEPCO was not officially notified of the nonconformances until February 19, 1980.
On that date VEPCO shut the unit down due to containment integrity questions resulting from this problem.
This is an infraction.
