NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Nuclear Plant Docket Nos.: 280 and 281 License Nos.: DPR-32 and DPR-37 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 10 through December 14, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.4.A.1 requires that written procedures with appropriate check-off lists and instructions shall be provided for normal startup, operation, and shutdown of all systems and components involving nuclear safety of the station.
Contrary to the above, procedure O-MOP-AAC-002, Return to Service of the AAC Diesel Generator, Revision 1, did not contain appropriate instructions to return the AAC (Alternate Alternating Current) Diesel Generator to service on September 20, 1996. The procedure failed to provide adequate instructions to return the AAC Diesel Generator output breaker control switch to the auto position after racking the output breaker to the connect position. This procedure error resulted ih the system being incapable of operation from the control room from September 20 to November 13, 1996.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
