ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32, DPR-37 During the Nuclear Regulatory CoR1Tiission (NRC) inspection conducted on September 28 - October 2, 1987; violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The viol a tions involved the 1 i censee fa i 1 ure to perform or ask relief from performing valve i nservi ce tests required by the ASME code and the use of superseded test procedures. In accordance with the 0 General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, 11 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C ( 1987),
the violations are listed below:
A.
10 CFR 50. 55a(g)(4}(ii) requires the performance of inservice tests to verify opera ti anal readiness of pumps and valves, whose function is.
required for safety, in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boil er and Pressure Vessel (ASME B&PV) Code Section XI.
ASME B&PV Code,Section XI, 1980 Edition Winter 1980 Addenda (80W80), has been identified as the applicable cocie for inservice testing of pumps and valves.
ASME B&PV Code,Section XI, 80W80 paragraph IWV-3411, states in part:
"If only limited operation is practical during plant operation, the valve shall be part-stroke exercised during plant operation and full-stroke exercised during cold shutdowns."
Contrary to the above, inservice tests are not performed as required by ASME B&PV Code Section XI to verify operational readiness of pumps and valves, whose function is required for safety, in that approximately 56 valves which are only full-stroke exercise tested at cold shutdown or refueling shutdown outages have not been part-stroke exercise tested during plant operations.
In addition relief from the part-stroke exercise testing has not been requested for these valves.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion V requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished in accordance with procedures.
Procedures No. SUADM-ADM-18 of July 17, 1987, 0 Document Control" paragraph 5.1.l(l){b) states in part"
" *.* New and revised procedures will be implemented not later then seven days after approval *by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee.
