ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry I Docket No.: 50-280 License No.: DPR-32 During an NRC Inspection conducted on April 3 through May 7, 1994, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B Criterion III, Design Control as implemented by section 17.2.3 of the Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A (Updated) require that measures be established to assure that design requirements be correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.
Electrical Engineering Implementing Procedure EE-029, Calculation Controlling Procedure, revision 2, stated scope (2.2) requires that calculation results be effectively communicated to the applicable power station.
Engineering Calculation No. EE-0418, Determination of Feedwater Flow and Steam Flow Transmitter's Calibration Spans from CHEMTRAC and Flowcalc Data Resulting from Special Test l-ST-300, revision 1, determined revised main steam flow transmitter span and instrument scale values.
Contrary to the above, design requirements of Calculation EE-0418, revision 1, were not correctly translated into instructions, in that, the revised main steam flow span and scale values were not incorporated into the steam flow calorimetric computer program.
As a result, the power range nuclear instruments were improperly adjusted and on March 30, 1994, the unit operated for one shift at an average power level of 2453 megawatts thermal which exceeded the licensed maximum power level of 2441 megawatts thermal.
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 Conmission, 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. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for 9406060218 940526
- PDR ADOCK 05000280 G
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.
