SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/92-07 AND 50-281/92-07)

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

Mr. M. W. Branch of this office on March 8, through April 4, 1992. * The

inspection included a review of acti vi ti es authorized for your Surry faci 1 i ty.

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 progres~.

Based on th~ results 6f this inspection, certain activities appeared to be in

violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation

(Notice).

The enclosed Notice contains two separate violations.

One violation

involved breaches of containment integrity during refueling. This violation is

of concern because your procedures did not adequately address the control of

maintenance activities on systems_ that were required to be closed for contain-

ment integrity.

The second violation involved the failure of maintenance

personnel to prevent foreign material from entering the service water system.

This violation is of concern because it limited the containment recirculation

spray systems ability to operate as designed.

You are required to respond to th~s letter and should fol1ow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when prepa-ring 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, the 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 NRC's "Rules of Practice", a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
