9 Twin Orchard Drive Oswego, NY 13126 November 7, 2002 Mr. John A. Grobe, Director Division of Reactor Safety US Nuclear Regulatory Commission 801 Warrenville Road Lisle, IL 60532-4351
Dear Mr. John A. Grobe:
These thoughts remained in my mind even after reading the Lessons Learned report.
- 1. Aren't there too many managers directly under the one overall site manager? (Isn't the organization too flat?)
- 2. How many cavities are actually on the first reactor head?
- 3. Was any NRC change ever implemented as a result of any Lessons Learned report?
- 4. There is no mention of Quality Control being missing from this site.
- 5. Wouldn't it have been useful to compare the safety consciousness of the plant staff under the previous (utility) ownership with that under the present nuclear operating company?
- 6. There is no comparison of IAEA recommendations with current NRC operations.
- 7. There is no mention of any QA performed on NRC Region 3. More specifically, there is no mention of any NRC Inspector General involvement.
- 8. From what I have read to date, it has been assumed that the plant workforce can change their safety culture. Can they?
- 9. Could overall plant safety performance have been compared with level of NRC enforcement against the company?
- 10. Could overall plant safety performance have been compared with level of NRC enforcement against specific individuals?
- 11. Was the displaced tube rolled against air? Did it meet specified acceptance criteria anyway? Is this done the same way at other plants, too?
010'V 2 0 2...
- 12. How did flange leaks come to be ignored as a breach of the primary coolant pressure boundary? In any event, why would taking ten years to replace faulty gaskets even be considered?
- 13. Did INPO PWR inspections (ratings) improve or deteriorate nuclear safety for the people of Ohio?
This is my thirteenth letter. It needs no reply.
