P ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Docket Nos. 50-338, 50-339 North Anna Power Station License Nos. NPF-4, NPF-7 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on May 1-5, 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 20.201(b) requires each licensee to make or cause to be made such surveys as (1) may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in 10 CFR 20 and (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present.

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires written procedures to be established, implemented, and maintained covering- tte activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, February 1978, requires written procedures for radiation surveys.

Health Physics Procedure HP-8.0.21, Required Non-Scheduled Radiological Surveys, dated September 11,1986. Steps 4.2.6. a and b, requires that when individuals are being escorted by health physics personnel, surveys should be performed sufficient to ensure personnel are aware of the radiation hazards in the area associated with the work activity.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to perform adequate surveys to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that were present in the following two cases:

a. On April 9,1989, a mechanic unexpectedly received an unplanned dose of 545 millirem while replacing the packing in two valves located in the Unit 2 "C" loop room and;

b. On May 1, 1989, a maintenance foreman unexpectedly received an unplanned dose of 1,640 millirem to his left thigh while repairing the Unit 1 fuel transfer cart.

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

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Virginia Electric and Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, 890627007e 890615 gDR ADOCK0500g8
