i ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION

, Virginia Electric and Power Company Docket Nos. 50-338, 50-339 North Anna Units 1 & 2 License Nos. NPF-4 , NPF-7 The following violation was identified during an inspection conducted on l September 16-20, 1995 The Severity Level was assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).

I Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires written procedures to be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

10 CFR 20.201(b) requires the licensee to perform such surveys as (1) are necessary to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 20.106 which limits the

release of radioactivity to unrestricted areas and (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present.

Contrary to the above, procedures to meet regulatory compliance for effluent i analytical measurement capability were not adequate in that:

(a) Health Physics procedures pertaining to calibration and sample analyses by gamma spectroscopy system did not provide sufficient detail to i

maintain a consistent geometry between the calibration sources and the samples analyzed. Failure to maintain a constant geometry resulted in inaccurate gamma spectroscopy measurements.

(b) Procedure HP-3.3.9 " Minimum Detectable Activity" did not detail the correct formula for the determination of the analytical effluent measurement Lower Limits of Detection (LLD) as specified in Technical Specification Tables 4.11-1 and 4.11-2. As a result licensee LLD determinations were not properly computed.

This is a Severity Level V violation (. Supplement IV).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged violations; (2) the reasons for the violations if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which have been taken i

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.

Security or safeguards information should be submitted as an enclosure to facilitate withholding it from public disclosure as required by 10 CFR 2.790(d)

or 10 CFR 73.21.
