ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32, DPR-37 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted between the period of December 18, 1988, to January 28, 1989, a violation of NRC require-ments was identified.
The violation examples involved the failure to follow procedures and/or failure to provide adequate procedures with regard to operations related problems during this period.
In accordance with the 11 General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions 11
, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.4 requires that detailed written procedures with appropriate check-off 1 i sts and instructions sha 11 be provided and followed for normal startup, operation, shutdown, testing, and conduct of preventative or corrective maintenance operations of all systems and components involving nuclear safety of the station.
Contrary to the above, detailed written procedures were either not followed, or were not provided in the following examples:
- 1.
On January 11, 1989, containment isolation valve CC-TV-209A was inadvertently operated in the closed direction resulting in breakage of a mechanical stop blocking device.
The operation was perfo~med without procedure.
- 2.
On January 11, 1989, the Unit 2 cavity area was inadvertently flooded due to failure to follow operational procedure 14.3 with regard to system realignment.
- 3.
On January 13, 1989, one service water drain valve was found to be shut when it was tagged open in accordance with station procedure.
On January 17, 1989, three service water drain valves were found to be closed when they were tagged open in accordance with station procedure.
- 4.
On January 15, 1989, containment isolation valve CC-TV-109A was inadvertently operated in the closed direction resulting in breakage of a mechanical stop blocking device.
The operation was performed in accordance with a procedure which was not appropriate for the evolution.
- 5.
On January 19, 1989, the Unit 1 11A 11 charging pump was started and operated for several minutes without proper system alignment for operation (recirculation flowpath isolation valve shut).
The operational procedure requires proper system alignment prior to pump start.

On January 21, 1989, the Unit 1 containment vacuum pump was started*
with the suction flowpath to the pump blocked.
Operators subsequently determined that the containment suction line had a blank installed. Operational procedure requires proper system alignment prior to pump start.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).
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 Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, within 30 days of the date of this Notice.
