SUBJECT:
THREE MILE ISLAND STATION, UNIT 1 - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-289/02-003
Dear Mr. Skolds:
On March 22, 2002, the NRC completed a team inspection at the Three Mile Island Unit 1 Nuclear facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The preliminary results of this inspection were discussed on March 22, 2002, with Mr. Williams and other members of your staff.
The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to the identification and resolution of problems, and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your operating license at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.
On the basis of the sample selected for review, the NRC concluded the implementation of the corrective action program at Three Mile Island Unit 1 was adequate. Problems were generally being identified, evaluated and corrected in a timely fashion based on the risk significance of the issue. However, some instances were identified where lower risk significant equipment problems were not entered into the corrective action program for resolution. Additionally, a few evaluations of equipment problems required additional detail during the inspection to ensure the equipment remained functional. There was one finding of very low safety significance (Green)
identified in the report associated with problem evaluation.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (The Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
