ENCLOSURE 1 NCTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Docket Nos. 50-338, 50-339 North Anna Units 1 and 2 License Nos. NPF-4, NPF-7 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 21 - April 17 and April 25 - May 3, 1989, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violations are listed below:

A. Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the procedures recom-mended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Section 9 of Regulatory Guide 1.33 recommends procedures be established for maintenance on safety related equioment.

Contrary to the above, on December 5, 1988, the 480 volt breaker for the A inside recirculation spray pump (1-RS-P-1A) failed to close within the time allowed by Technical Specifications, and on December 13, if88, the 480 volt breaker for the B quench spray pump (1-QS-P-1B) was delayed in closing due to inappropriate maintenance resulting from an inadequate maintenance procedure (EMp-P-PL-01). The procedure was inadequate in that it did not specify the type of lubricant to be used on the breakers during maintenance. Consequently, improper lubricant and solvents were used on the breakers resulting in sluggish operation of the breakers and potential inoperability of safety-related equipment.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) Unit 1 only.

B. Technical Specification 4.6.1.1.a states in part that primary containment integrity shall be demonstrated at least once per 31 days by verifying that all penetrations not capable of being closed by operable containment automatic isolation valves and required to be closed during accident conditions are closed by valve, blind flange or deactivated automatic valves secured in their positions.

Contrary to the above, the inspector discovered based on discussion with the licensee and a review of surveillance test 1-PT-60.1 and 2-PT-60,1, Containment Integrity, that, as of May 3, 1989, all capped vent and drain valves located between their main containment isolation valve and the containment penetration have not been verified closed every 31 days.

These valves are checked in the closed position once every 18 months or during the refueling outage.

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