SUBJECT:
{INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/92-04 AND 50-281/92-04)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by-
Mr. M. W. Branch of this office on February 2 through March 7, 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 selective examinattons of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain activities ap*peared to be in
violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation
(Notice).
The violation is of concern in that it involves your failure to
- promptly correct repetitive malfunctions of high head safety injection pump
lube-oil temperature control valves.
Previous failures of these valve have
resulted* in high temperature alarms for the HHS! pumps bearing and your
operators have had to respond locally to ~n area that would be inaccessibl~
during a design basis accident to temporarily correct the malfunction.
Based on the results of this inspection, two other activities also appeared to
be in violation of NRC requirements.
However, no violation is being issued
ba~ed on the fact that your self initiated program for improving procedure
quality identified the deficiencies and your efforts in correcting the
violations meet the criteria specified in section V.G of the NRC
1 s Enforcement
Policy.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
sp_ecified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you sho"uld document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent returrence.
After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of*future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
