• APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric & Power Docket Nos. 50-338 & 50-339 North Anna 1 and 2 License Nos. NPF-4 & NPF-7 i

As a result of the inspection conducted on March 6 - April 5, 1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9,1982), the following violations were identified.

A. Technical Specification 3.5.1 requires that each reactor coolant system accumulator shall be operable with the isolation valves open when pres-surizer pressure is greater than 1000 psig and Tavg greater than 350 F.

Contrary to the above, on March 7, 1982, all three safety injection accumulator isolation valves were closed simultaneously for about 2 minutes for testing purposes with the reactor coolant system above 1000 psig and 350 F. The valves would have opened automatically on receipt of a safety injection signal.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I.).

B. Technical Specification 6.5.1.6 specifies that the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee (SNSOC) shall be responsible for review of all procedures required by specification 6.8.1 and changes thereto.

Contrary to the above, the SNSOC erroneously approved a temporary change to Procedure 2-PT-56.3, on March 7,1982, which permitted closing of all three of the accumulator isolation valves in a violation of Technical Specification 3.5.1.a.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I.).

C. Technical Specification 6.12.1 requires that a radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area is required upon entry into a high radiation area. T.S. 6.8.1 requires that procedures be implemented and maintained. Health Physics Procedure, Section 6, Exposure Control, states that an "RWP, pocket dosimeter, and dose rate meter are required for entry into a high radiation area".

Contrary to the above, (1) On January 10, 1982, an operator entered a high radiation area to check an instrument, (PI-1-152) and did not have in his possession a radia-tion dose rate meter.

(2) On February 19, 1982, two engineers were observed taking data readings adjacent to the charging pumps, which is a high radiation area. They did not have a radiation measuring device, nor were they qualified in the use of a dose rate meter.

t Virginia Electric & Power Company 2 Docket Nos. 50-338 & 50-339 Notice of Violation License Nos. NPF-4 & NPF-7 This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV.).

D. Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented and maintained. Maintenance Procedure MMP-C-GP-1 section 5.3 requires approval of the Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor and Quality Control prior to pump disassembly. Maintenance Procedure MMP-ADM-1.0, section III, states that approved maintenance procedures will be used on safety-related systems.

Contrary to the above:

(1) On March 10, 1982, two valves associated with the Casing Cooling System which were specified to be closed were erroneously left open. This event resulted in pumping of approximately 20,000 gallons of water onto j the containment floor.

(2) On February 5, 1982, a safety-related service water pump was disassembled without the specific approval of the Mechanical i Maintenance Supervisor and Quality Control as required by MMP-C-GP-1.

i (3) On March 16, 1982, maintenace activities were performed on safety-related valves 2FW-192, 2FW-127 and 2FW-129 without required i procedures.

1 This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I.).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged viola-tions; (2) the reasons for the violations if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (4) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
