ENCLOSURE ?

NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Docket Nos. 50-338, 50-339 North Anna License Nos. NPF-4, NPF-7 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on ichruary 3 - March 20, 1989, two violations of NRC requirements were idendfied. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRL Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violations are listed below:

A. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires that measures be. established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.

In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

Contrary to the above, adequate corrective actions were not taken to preclude repetition of the erratic response by the condenser air ejector radiation monitor (1-RM-SV-121) in that, moisture in the monitor lines was identified as the cause of the monitor being declared inoperable on July 13, 1987, prior to the last steam generator tube incident.

Subsequently, no actions were taken to correct the problem which, again, apparently caused the monitor to respond erratically during the steam generator tube leak on February 25, 1989.

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

B. Technical Specification 6.8.1.a. requires written procedures be established, implemented and maintained for operation of the service water system as documented in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Operating procedure 1-0P-49.1A, Valve Checkoff-Service Water, and service water system drawing 11715-FM-078B require that service water valve 2-SW-242 be in the-closed position.

Contrary to the above, on February 6,1989, service water valve 2-SW-242 ,

was found in the open position.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I) and applied to Unit 2 only.
