NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry 2 Docket No.: 50-281 License No.: DPR-37 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 24 through May 4, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification (TS) 3.21.A.5 requires that the low pressure carbon dioxide system be operable to the extent that when equipment in the emergency diesel generator (EDG) rooms is required to be operable, fire suppression can be provided upon demand.
TS 3.21.B.4 requires that with the required system in TS 3.21.A.5 inoperable, a continuous fire watch be established within one hour.
Contrary to the above, on April 8, 1996, the low pressure carbon dioxide system for the number 2 EDG room was inoperable when the EDG was required to be operable and a continuous fire watch was not established within one hour.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previously docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
