Contrary to the above, activities affecting quality were not prescribed by adequate instructions and/or procedures, in that:
- 1.
Operating Procedure, 2-0P-1. 3, Unit Startup Operation (350/450 to HSD),
Revision dated June 14, 1989, did not adequately caution the operators to maintain specific pressure control prior to testing reactor coolant system accumulator discharge valves. On November 21, 1989, during Unit 2 startup, operators a 11 owed the reactor coolant system pressure to exceed 1000 psig, prior to opening and de-energizing the accumulator discharge isolation valve motor operators, a violation of Technical Specification 3.3.A.10.
- 2.
On November 13, 1989, a resin waste transfer evolution was conducted without adequate procedure control resulting in three licensee employees being contaminated when a pipe cap was removed from a pressurized system.
- 3.
On approximately October 25, 1989, the Unit 2 flood control dikes, which protect against flooding of the service water supply motor control valves to the recirculation spray heat exchangers, were removed with inadequate modification and operation procedure control resulting in heatup of the unit above 350°F, on November 6 and 20, 1989, with inoperable recirculation spray systems, a violation of Technical Specification 3.4.
This violation has been categorized as a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) for Unit 2.

- 1.
Work Order 87218, dated October 28, 1989, identified that an incorrect gasket had been installed in safety injection check valve 2-SI-79 during the previous outage.
This condition had contributed to a failure of the valve to properly seat during subsequent unit operation.
- 2.
Inspection of safety injection check valve 2-SI-91 in accordance with Engineering Work Request 89-684B, dated November 3, 1989, indicated that an incorrect gasket had been installed during the previous outage.
- 3.
After interim corrective action was conducted for examples 1 and 2 above on November 1, 1989, incorrect gaskets were i nsta 11 ed in a Unit 2 pressurizer safety valve on November 14, 1989, and subsequent review revealed potential incorrect gaskets in the Unit 1 pressurizer safety valves.
This violation has been categorized as a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) for Units 1 and 2.
C.
Technical Specification 3.7, Table 3.7.5(a) requires that grab samples be collected and analyzed at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> whenever radioactive liquid effluent monitoring instrumentatJon is out of service.
Contrary to the above, grab samples were not collected and analyzed at 1 east once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> in that, on August 2, 1989, samp 1 es for the component cooling service water effluent line were collected and analyzed 30 minutes outside the required 12-hour timeframe.
This violation has been categorized as a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) for Units 1 and 2.
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.
