SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) Operational Performance
Assessment (OPA) conducted by L. Watson and team on March 28 - April 1 and
April 11 - 15, 1988, at your North Anna facility.
At the conclusion of the
t
inspection, the findings were discussed with you and those members of your
staff identified in the enclosed inspection report.
The CFA was a perforrance based team assessmer.t which identified significant
4
operational strengths and weaknesses, rather than a compliance oriented inspec-
t
tion.
The inspection included an evaluation of the effectiveness of various
I
!
plant groups including Operations, Maintenance, Quality Assurance, Engineering,
and Training, in supporting safe plant operations.
Particular attention was
directed to assessing management awareness of, involvement in, and support of
i
'
safe plant operations.
A number of notable strengths and improvement efforts were identified in your
l
programs and are discussed in the enclosed report. However, during the course
j
of the inspection, certain activities were noted which appea ed to violate
NRC requirements.
The violation, references to pertinent requirements, and
i
elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice
of Violation.
There is also an unresolved item identified in the inspection
i
report which will be pursue <i during future inspections.
i
We direct your attention to those areas identified as weaknesses during the
inspection.
The more significant areas where improvements were needed
included the periodic calibration of control room instrumentation; raintaining
and using maintenance history files; the generation, review and control of
<
procedure changest the trending of deficiencies; and, identification of root
cause of equipment deficiencies.
We encourage prompt management attention to
these areas.
We also support your actions to improve areas previously
i
targeted by you for enhancement and encourage aggressive implementation of
these improvements particularly in the areas of post maintenance testing and
procedurtl upgrades.
