Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
We have reviewed your letter of March 14, 1980, in reference to the
inspection conducted at North Anna Power Station on February 11-15, 1980,
and reported in IE Inspection Report Nos. 50-338/80-05 and 50-338/80-04.
Our response to the specific infraction is attached.
We have determined that no proprietary information is contained in the
reports. Accordingly, the Virginia Electric and Power Company has no
objection to these inspection reports being made a matter of public
disclosure.
Very truly yours,
L :-
C. N.

Response to Notice of Violation
.
Items Reported in IE Inspection Report 50-338/80-05
NRC Comment
As required by Technical Specification 6.10.1.d. records of surveillance
activities required by Technical Specifications shall be retained for five
years.
Further, Technical Specification 4.1.1.2 requires that an overall
reactivity balance shall be compared to predicted values every 31 effective
full power days.
.
Contrary to the above, the records of Procedure 1-PT-11, " Core Reactivi-
ity Balance", performed in the period June 1978 to September 1979 showed a
complete lack of correlation between the dates and core exposures entered
on the data sheets. Other information available at the station and from
station personnel provide confidence that equivalent surveillances were per-
formed at the required frequency and with acceptable results.
This is a deficiency.
Response
The above deficiency is correct as stated.
Specifically, pursuant to
Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice" Part 2, title 10 Code of
!
Federal Regulstions, the following information is submitted:
1.
Corrective steps taken and results achieved:
To correct the condition as stated above, the Procedure (1-PT-11) has
been revised such that normal surveillance is based on dnta from current
plant status, instead of using the monthly Fuel Performance Characteristics
Report provided to the station by Vepco Fuel Resources Dept.
This eliminates
delays associated with interdepartmental correspondence since all calcula-
tions are performed at the site.
2.
Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further non-compliance:
Wb believe that the above listed corrective action will be sufficient.
,
t
3.
Date when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance was achieved on 2/25/80.
