.e ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Co.
Surry Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32, DPR-37 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 12 - June 8, 1991, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1991), the violations are listed below:
A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, as implemented by Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report (VEP l-5A, Section 17.2.5), requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented instructions or procedures appropriate to the circumstanses.
B.
Contrary to the above, activities affecting quality were not prescribed by adequate instructions and/or procedures, as evidenced by the following examples:
- 1.
Technical Specification 3.11, Radioactive Gas Storage, was revised on April 17, 1991 and then implemented without providing instructions on how to accomplish the required actions.
This resulted, on May 24, 1991, in the failure to immediately reduce the oxygen concentration in the A waste gas decay tank as required by Technical Specification 3.11.A.1.b.
- 2.
Use of a turbine load limiter as described in Section 14.2.8 of the UFSAR, was not incorporated into station procedures.* This contri-buted to a June 6, 1991, Unit 1 power increase to 103 percent, which exceeded licensed power limits due to improper setting of the turbine load limiter.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, as implemented by Operational
- Quality Assurance Program Topical Report (VEP 1-5A, Section 17.2.16),
requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, and defective equipment are promptly identified and corrected.
Contrary to the above, conditions adverse to quality associated with the reoccurrence of seal head tank Tow level alanns on Unit 1 outside recirculation spray pump 1-RS-P-2A and Unit 2 low head safety injection pump 2-SI-P-lA were not promptly identified and corrected. This condition was identified on or before February 1990 and had not been corrected as of June 6, 19.91.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
