NOTICE OF VIOLATION

OFFICIAL COPY

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/90-21 AND 50-281/90-21)

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by*

W. E. Holland, J. W. York, and S. G. Tingen on June 3 through June 30, 1990.

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 inspection 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.

The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate

NRC requirements.

The violation, references to pertinent requirements, and

elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice

of Violation.

The violation described in the enclosed Notice is similar to a violation

contained in the Notice sent to you by our letter dated September 28, 1989.

Recurring violations are of particular concern because the NRC expects

licensees to learn from their past failures and to take effective corrective

actions.

Although NRC does not normally consider monetary civil penalties for

Severity Level IV violations, the Enforcement Policy states that such penalties

may be imposed for Severity Level IV violations that are similar to previous

violations for which the licensee did not take effective corrective action.

In

this case, we have decided not to hold an enforcement conference nor to propose

a civil penalty because you identified the violation and the condition was not

pervasive.

In your response to the enclosed Notice, you should document the

specific actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent

recurrence.

We will review your response, including your pro~osed corrective

actions, and the results of future inspections to determine whether further NRC

enforcement action is necessary to ensure comp 1 i ance with NRC regulatory

requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and its enclosures

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
