SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-338/98-05 AND 50-339/98-05
NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION
Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:
An NRC inspection was conducted July 13 - 31,1998, at your North Anna Power Station and an
in-office inspection of supplemental information was conducted September 21 - 25,1998. This
was a Safety System Engineering inspection (SSEI) The primary objective of this SSEl was to
assess the adequacy of calculations, analyses, and other engineering activities used to support
auxiliary feedwater system operability and reliability.
The inspection found the system to be operational overail. Based on the results of this
inspection, three violations were identified. We are concerned that for Violation B your staff
failed to implement adequate corrective actions to resolve corrosion of the AFW tunnel pipe
supports which had been initially identified in September 1996. We are also concerned about
Violations A and C which occurred as a result of inaccurate as-built drawings for safety related
piping systems. The violations appear to contradict your August 1,1979, response to IE Bulletin
79-14, Seismic Analysis for As-Built Safety-Related Piping Systems, in which you stated that
your rigid construction quality control program assured conformance of as-built piping systems
to design requirements. Although NRC expressed concerns regarding the scope of corrective
action, as of September 25,1998, your planned corrective actions did not appear adequate to
determine the extent of as-built drawing inaccuracies. The NRC again discussed, by telephone
conference on October 22,1998, our concerns regarding the adequacy of your planned
corrective actions. Based upon information you provided on October 28,1998, your currently
planned corrective actions do not appear to contain a statistically valid sample size to
adequately determine the extent of condition of as-built construction errors or drawing
inaccuracies for pipe supports. Such a review is needed because of the number of NRC
identified issues and the potential safety impact of unknown discrepancies. Your response to
Violation A should address your program to verify the adequacy of the as-built construction of
safety-related piping systems.
Although, the results of the inspection showed the overall quality of calculations was adequate to ,
support system operability, continued improvement in attention to detail is necessary to address
l
the weaknesses ir dculation quality identified during the inspection. We are also concerned

regarding the excessive length of time your staff required to determine operability of the Unit 1
AFW piping system after a multiple pipe support hanger was discovered to be missing on
June 16,1998. The final design analysis regarding the missing support was not completed until
j
July 29,1998, at which time you concluded that the missing AFW piping system support
degraded but did not effect the operability of the AFW system. In you response to this letter you
should address additional plans to strengthen and expedite performance of operability
{
evaluations.

The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reasons for Violations B and C, and the
corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violations, and to prevent recurrence, are

i
accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position regarding these violations. However,
if you choose to provide additional information, you should follow the instructions in the enclosed
notice.
The violations are cited in the Enclosed Notice of Violation and the circumstances surrounding
1
the violations are desenbed in detail in the enclosed report. Please note that for Violation A, you
