NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry I and 2 Docket Nos.: 50-280, 50-281 License Nos.: DPR-32, DPR-37 During an NRC Inspection conducted on November 5 through December 2, 1995, 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) 4.18.A.1 requires, in part, that fire detection instruments in specified zones be demonstrated operable at least once per six months by a channel functional test.
TS 4.6.C.l.b requires that the voltage for each cell in each station battery be measured and recorded each month.
TS 4.0.2 permits specified surveillance time intervals to be adjusted plus or minus 25 percent to accommodate normal test schedules.
Contrary to the above, Units 1 and 2 semi-annual smoke detector functional tests were not performed as required during the period from May 25, 1994, to January 9, 1995. Additionally, the monthly station battery cell voltage measurement was not performed on the Unit 1, 18 station battery during the period from February 21 to April 4, 1995.
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, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation, or if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the 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.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without 9601190047 951229 PDR ADOCK 05000280 G

However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
