NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry 2
- Docket No.: 50-281 License No.: DRP-37 EA 94-235 During ai NRC Inspection conducted on*october 27 through November i4, 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 XVI, as implemented by the Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report (VEP-l-5A, Section 17.2.16) requires that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected.
Sections 7.2 and Attachment 13 of station procedure O-EPT-0102-01, Monthly Station Battery Cell Voltage Check, revision 0, specifies that a battery cell be considered inoperable if a cell voltage measurement of
~ 2.07 is recorded and requires that a Deviation Report {DR) be issued.
Contrary to the above, on October 7, 17, 22, and 26, 1994, established measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected were ineffective. Specifically, on these four occasions, cell voltages for cell 52 of the 2A station battery were
~ 2.07 volts and the cell was not declared inoperable and DRs were not issued.
The failure to promptly identify and correct this condition resulted in operation with a degraded station battery.
This is a Severity Level IV violation {Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Virginia Electrlc 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~
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.
