MEMORANDUi FOR:

James P. O'Reilly, Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement Region II t

SUBJECT:

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY, NORTH ANNA 2 DOCKET NO. 50-339 - STATUS OF FACILITY COMPLETION i

Based on the results of our inspection efforts, we have determined that Construc-tion and Preoperational Testing of the subject facility have been completed in substantial agreement with docketed commitments and regulatory requirements, with the exception of items indicated in the enclosures. With the exception of noted items, we have completed our inspections in accordance with the requirements contained in MC 2500. Additionally, pre-fuel load activities prescribed in the October 29, 1976 memorandum from B. H. Grier to N. C. Moseley concerning Phase 4 of the North Anna Investigation have been completed.

Remaining construction, testing, and inspection items identified in the enclosures have been categorized by our recc,mmended mandatory completion milestones.

Licensee personnel estimate that the unit will be ready for fuel loading by April 1, 1980. Region II believes this date is achievable.

As part of our inspection efforts, we have reviewed the licensee's preparations for implementation of the Quality Assurance Program for Operations, and have found that they meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, as specified in the licensee's Quality Assurance Program Topical Report (which was reviewed by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation).
