ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE'0F VIOLATION l

Virginia Electric and Power Company Docket Nos. 50-280 and 50-281 Surry 1.icense Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on October 20-23 and October 27-31', 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was ,

identified. The violation involved failure to provide appropriate inservice inspection drawings for the examination of safety related welds on the ,

pressurizer. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion V, as implemented by Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) Topical Report VEP1-5A, paragraph 17.2.5, requires that activities affecting the quality of structures, systems and components be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures and ,

drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances. VEPC0 inservice .

inspection (ISI) Drawing VIR-1-2100, Rev.1, dated June 18, 1985, is  :

the drawing provided to locate the welds in the Unit 2 pressurizer.

VEPC0 ISI Drawing VIR-1-2100, Rev.1 depicts the lower head to shell j weld (weld #4) as being three inches above the support skirt to lower I headweld(weld #8). j t

Contrary to the above, the original issue of drawing VIR-1-2100 as well as 1 the fabrication drawing for the pressurizer depict weld #4 as being 27 inches above weld #8. As a result of this drawing error, on October 22, ^

1986, an ultrasonic inspection was conducted on an area of base material 3 inches above weld #8 instead of the segment of weld #4 and an intersecting segment of longitudinal weld #3 located 27 inches above weld #8. This inspection was conducted despite the fact that visual inspection on October 21, 1986, revealed the area 3 inches above weld #8 to be smooth with no evidence of a weld and the area 27 inches above weld #8 appeared to be a t w:ld even though the drawing showed no weld at that location. The review of -

previous drawings which substantiated the visual inspection location of the weld #4 was done at the insistence of the NRC inspector who witnessed the activities of October 21 and 22, 1986. A review of drawings used during the June outage of Unit 1 indicates that this drawing control problem also existed during examination of Unit 1. ,

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