SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-338/89-03 AND 50-339/89-03)

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by

J. L. Caldwell on February 3 - March 20,1989. The inspection included a

review of activities authorized for your North Anna Power Staion. At the

conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of

your' staff identified in the enclosed Inspection Report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate

NRC requirements. The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and

elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice

of Violation. Violation A of the enclosed Notice of Violation concerns your

failure to take adequate corrective actions to deficiencies previously

identified in the condenser air ejector radiation monitor prior to the 1987

North Anna tube rupture event. Your response to the violation associated with

the 1987 erratic behavior of the condenser air ejector monitor stated that the

source of the monitor's problems was moistse in the monitor lines. During

the March 1989 tube leak incident, the condenser air ejector monitor once

again responded erratically. In your response to the enclosed violation,

please provide information addressing how your actions will be more effective

than those previously taken to resolve problems with the condenser air ejector

[ monitor.

In addition, we continue to be concerned with problems related to your drawing

control program, as discussed in paragraphs 5, 7 and 10 of the enclosed report.

Accuracy of station drawings is of extreme importance. Based on a conversation

on April 14, 1989 between M. Bowling of your staff and P. Fredrickson of my

staff, we understand that you are consolidating your actions with respect to the

drawing control problems and will submit your current corrective action effort

to us by April 30, 1989, as a supplement to your response to Inspection Report

338,339/88-31.

Your attention is invited to the unresolved item identified in the Inspection

Report. This matter will be pursued during future inspections.
