NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/93-22 AND 50-281/93-22
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
Mr. M. Branch of this office on August 9, 1993, through September 4, 1993.
The inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Surry
facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed
with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation.
The violation regarding inadequate investigation and evaluation of
suspected Reactor Coolant System (RCS) leakage is of concern because it
resulted in operation of Unit I for 57 days with a non-isolable fault in the
RCS pressure barrier.
In addition, the enclosed inspection report identifies
activities that violated NRC requirements but will not be subject to
enforcement action because the licensee's efforts in identifying and/or
correcting the violation meet the criteria specified in Section VII.B of the
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", a copy of this
letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
