SUBJECT:
REVIEW OF THE RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION FOR POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-266/97017(DRP);
L 50-301/97017(DRP))
Dear Mr. Grigg:
' This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 12,1997,'in response to our letter j
dated September 17,1997, transmitting a Notice of Violation associated with inspection Repost i
No. 50 266/97017(DRP); 50-301/97017(DRP).
In your reply, you stated that while not disputing Violation 1, it was your view that the statement
at issue regarding the cross-connecting capability of the Point Beach component cooling water j
. (CCW) system was perhaps incomplete, but it was not inaccurate. We have carefully reviewed j
l
,
your response and the circumstances of this violation and have concluded that the statement Point Beach management made to us both verbally and in writing clearly related to the CCW.
'
- _
. system cross-connect capability through the flow path specified in your abnormal operating
'~
L procedures. Since it was later determined that this flow path was not available, we have
j:
concluded that our characterization of the violation was correct. Mr. John A. Grobe, Director,
'
Division of Reactor Safety, discussed this matter with you. We acknowledge your position that
.
the statement was also incomplete, in that there was another CCW system cross-connect
,
capability beyond that described in your abnormal operating procedures.. We also acknowledge
'
your belief that had it been necessary, the CCW system likely would have been made functional.
!
We have reviewed your corrective actions and have no further questions at this time.' These
,
l corrective actions will be examined during future inspections.
L
Sincerely,
,
j
!.
