e July 13, 1992 EN 92-051A OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee:
Virginia Electric and Power company (Surry Power Station, Unit 1)
Docket No. 50-280 (EA 92-093)
Subject:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY -
$50,000 This is to inform the Commission that the staff has revised the amount of the proposed civil penalty to be issued on or about July 13, 1992 to Virginia Electric and Power Company from $62,500 to $50,000 (see EN 92-051, July 8, 1992).
This revision is based upon a reevaluation of the applied escalation and mitigation factors.
Specifically, a 75 percent evaluation was proposed for past licensee performance, based in part on the civil penalty associated with EA 91-114.
The revised proposal would escalate the civil penalty by only 50 percent for this factor.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action.
The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Notice Telephone Notification of Licensee July 13, 1992 July 13, 1992 The Commonwealth of Virginia will be notified.
The licensee has thirty days from the date of the Notice in which to respond.
Following NRC evaluation of the response, the civil penalty may be remitted, mitigated, or imposed by Order.

_-HI HEAD SAFETY INJECTION PUMPS COULD BE UNAVAILABLE W/0 OPERATOR ACTIONS-
- .\\
J1W~*rH UNIT 1 OPERATING AT 100% POWER, LICENSEE DISCOVERED THAT THE HIGH HEAD SAFETY INJECTION (HHSI) PUMPS WERE CONFIGURED SUCH THAT DURING A DESIGN BASIS EVENT COINCIDENT WITH A LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER AND A SINGLE ACTIVE FAILURE OF EITHER THE #3 EDG OR THE 'B' HHSI PUMP (WHICH RECEIVES EMERGENCY POWER FROM #3 EDG), THERE WOULD BE NO HHS! PUMPS AVAILABLE IF NO CREDIT IS TAKEN FOR CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR ACTIONS.
THIS CONDITION EXISTED BECAUSE THE 'B' HHSI PUMP WAS RUNNING, THE
'A' HHS! PUMP (WHICH RECEIVES EMERGENCY POWER FROM #1 EOG) HAD ERRONEOUSLY BEEN PLACED IN THE STANDBY MODE WITH ITS UNDERVOLTAGE TRIP FUNCTION ENABLED, AND THE 'C' HHSI PUMP WAS AVAILABLE BUT ITS CONTROL SWITCH WAS IN THE PULL-TO-LOCK POSITION.
LICENSEE IS KEEPING 1 OF THE 3 HHSI PUMPS IN THE PULL-TO-LOCK POSITION DUE TO POSSIBLE VENTILATION CAPACITY PROBLEMS IN THE HHSI PUMP ROOMS.
THIS CONDITION WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE 'A' HHSI PUMP NOT RESTARTING AFTER #1 EDG LOADED ONTO THE EMERGENCY BUS WHEN OFFSITE POWER WAS LOST.
THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED AT LEAST SINCE UNIT 1 WAS RESTARTED ON 05/01/92 FOLLOWING A REFUELING OUTAGE.
AT 0930, LICENSEE CORRECTED THIS CONDITION BY PLACING THE 'C'.HHSI PUMP IN
-uE AUTOMATIC MODE & THE 'A' HHS! PUMP SWITCH IN THE PULL-TO-LOCK POSITION.
11 It _itENSEE IS DETERMINING CAUSE & CORRECTIVE ACTIONS & HAS INFORMED THE RI.
