APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry 1, 2 Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32, DPR-37 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 2-30, 1981, and in accordance with the. Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified.
A.*
Technical Specification 3. 2. 8. 4 requires that the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) piping and valves shall be operable, for reactor criticality, to establish two flow paths to the core; one flow path from the boric acid tanks to the charging pumps, and one from the RWST to the charging pumps.
Contrary to the above, the Unit 2 CVCS flow path from the boric acid tanks to the charging pumps was inadvertently isolated for some 30 minutes on January 2, 1981, during full power operations. Unit 2 valves 2-CH-223 and
-226 were closed instead of the Unit 1 valves l-CH-223 and -226, which were identified on the tags and tagging record..The Unit 2 emergency borate line was also inoperable (plugged) during the occurrence and therefore only the RWST flow path was operable. The inspector subsequentley observed that severa 1 CVCS valves,* including 1-CH-226 and 2-CH-226, were not* properly identified due to missing valve identification tags or boron encrustation and deposits on the valves and tags, complicating the valve identification and tagging process.
This is a Severity level IVViolation (Supplement I.D.2)
- 8.
10 CFR 50.SSa and NRC letter to Vepco dated August 7, 1979, required the licensee to comply with the ASME Code inspection requirements proposed in the May 17, 1979, Vepco inspection program submittal.
Section XI of the above Code and. the licensee 1s program requires that full-stroke exercising for a 11 Category A and 8 va 1 ves not exercised quarterly or exempted sha 11 b~ exercised each shutdown when the valves have not been tested for three months or longer.
Contrary to the above, Category A and 8 valves listed in periodic Test 18.6c, CSD Testing of Charging and SI MOV 1 s and Check Valves, were not tested in accordance with the Section XI program when Unit 1 was in the cold shutdown condition on August 1-10, 1980, for sG* tube plugging operations.
PT 18.6c was last completed for Unit 1 on February 26, 1980, five months before the August outage and restart.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I.E.), and applies to Unit
- 1.
