Notice of Violation 2 Contrary to the above, on May 25, 1989 the inspector determined, based on a review of the independent review program and discussions with Llicensee personnel, that the licensee's independent review group was i

' not performing 'all of the document reviews. required by Technical Specification.

This is a Severity IV Violation (Supplement I) and applies to both units.

B. Technical Specification 6.8.1.L requires written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering refueling operations.

Contrary to the above, on April 27, 1989 the licensee attempted ' to place a new fuel assembly into a spent fuel pool rack location already containing a spent fuel assembly. This occurred due to an inadequate ,

procedure 1-0P-4.2, Receipt and Storage of New Fuel. The procedure was

' inadequate in that the Fuel Handling Data Sheet supplied by the licensee's corporate Fuel Audit and Inspection group did not accurately reflect the actual locations of several~ spent fuel assemblies.

This 'is a Severity Level V (Supplement I) Violation and applies to both units.

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

Section 9 of Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires procedures for performing maintenance.

1. Contrary to the above, on May 20, 1989 the licensee commenced replacement of an unisolated charging system filter element 2-CH-FL-2 instead of the isolated filter element 2-CH-FL-5 for which the replacement was intended. This occurred due to the licensee's failure to follow maintenance procedure MMP-C-FL-5, Radiation Work Permit 89-2256 and work order 089584 which resulted in the work being commenced on the wrong filter element.

1. Contrary to the above, the Instrument Calibration Procedure for steam generator B Feed Flow Protection Channel IV, ICP-FW-2-F-2486, was inadequate in that the procedure's initial conditions stated that there were no coincidence requirements during modes 3, 4, 5, or 6.

This caused an unexpected automatic reactor protection system reactor trip signal to be generated during procedure performance on May 2, 1989.

This is a Severity Level V (Supplement I) violation and applies to both units.

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, D.C. 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy l
