SUBJECT:
(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/91-37 AND 50-281/91-37)
OFF,**c_1~/.i-~
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
Mr. M. W. Branch of this office on December 1, 1991, through January 4, 1992.
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 selec.tive -examinations-of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain activities appeared ~o be in
violation of NRC requirements, as specified in ~he enclosed Notice of Violation
(Notice).
We are concerned about the violation because it involved the
operation of the RCS letdown- system with a piping weld leak without requesting
NRC relief from ASME code requirements.
Recent NRC guidance in this area,
which was communicated to you in Generic Letter 91-18, clearly indicated that
relief from code requirements is required in this type of situation.
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, th~ NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2. 790 of the NRG' s
11Rules of Practice

, a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
