NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Power Station Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32, DPR-37 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 16-20, 1986, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "Genera 1 Statement of Po 1 icy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, 11 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the particular violations are set forth below:
A.
10 CFR 50.49 (f) requires each item of electrical equipment important to safety to be environmentally qualified by testing and/or analysis.
10 CFR 50.49(k) establishes (in accordance with CLI-80-21 and operating license dated prior to May 23, 1980) the DOR Guidelines as the basic requirement for Surry Nuclear Plant.
DOR Guidelines, Section 5.2 and 5.2.1 require testing that would envelope the accident environment, including temperature and pressure steam conditions.
Contrary to the above, at the time of the inspection, pressure transmitters important to safety (Tag Nos. PT-1474, 1475, 1476, 1484, 1485, 1486, 1494, 1495, and 1496 for Unit 1; and PT-2474, 2475, 2476, 2484, 2485, 2486, 2495, and 2496 for Unit 2) were not environmentally qualified in that the qualification testing did not envelope the accident environment for a Main Steam Line Break (i.e., testing at the elevated temperatures that would be experienced).
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 50.49(f) requires each item of electrical equipment important to safety to be environmentally qualified by testing and/or analysis.
10 CFR 50. 49 (j) requires a record of qua 1 ifi cation be maintained in an auditable form.
Contrary to the above, at the time of the inspection, Rockbestos cables of formulation KXL-760 and KXL-50 used in instrument circuity were not environmentally qualified in that there were no test reports or analysis in the EQ files to show that the cables were qualified.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

C.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that procedures shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.
Contrary to the above, at the time of the inspection, the licensee did not have an adequate program to ensure maintenance was performed at time intervals specified in their EQ test reports in order to maintain the equipment environmentally qualified.
An example of this was the High Head Safety Injection Pump Motors (Tag Nos. 1-and 2-CA-P-lA, B, C) lube oil replacement was scheduled semiannually; however, the test report required replacement after 2040 hours0.0236 days <br />0.567 hours <br />0.00337 weeks <br />7.7622e-4 months <br />.
There was no log or record.of run time available to track the hours to ensure the specified time was not exceeded, thereby causing the pumps to not be environmentally qualified.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
D.
10 CFR 50.49(f), (k) and DOR Guidelines 5.2.2 require each item of electrical equipment important to safety to be qualified by testing and/or analysis and the differences between tested and installed equipment be evaluated and reconciled in the qualification documentation.
Contrary to the above, at the time of the inspection, Raychem splice insulation sleeves on safety-related cables in conduits (e.g., for solenoid valve Tag No. TV-CW-112B) were not qualified in that they were not in a configuration that was tested. The sleeves were excessively bent with bend radii less than the minimum specified by Raychem specifications and the qualification file did not contain the appropriate evaluation to demonstrate similarity to the tested configuration.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Virginia Electric and Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, Surry Power Station, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include [for each violation]: *
(1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, ( 4) the corrective steps which wi 11 be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
If
an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
