SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/89-11)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Operational Safety Team
Inspection conducted by R. H. Bernhard on July 10,
- July 28,
1989.
The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your H. B. Robinson
facility. 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. In addition, a violation described in the enclosed inspection
report is under consideration for escalated enforcement action.
Accordingly,
no Notice of Violation for this violation is being issued at this time.
However,
please be advised that the number
and characterization of the
violation described in the report may change as a result of further NRC review.
An Enforcement Conference to discuss the violation will be scheduled at a
future date. You will be advised by separate correspondence of the results of
our-deliberations on this matter.
A number of inspection findings are identified as weaknesses. Each weakness has
been assigned an Inspector Follow-up Item Number.
To clearly define
Carolina Power and Light's plans for corrective action on the inspection
findings, we request that CP&L respond in writing to this report.
Within 30
days of the date of this letter, the NRC requests CP&L respond with a statement
of intended corrective action for each of the weaknesses and the dates that
action will be taken.
Your attention is invited to unresolved items identified in the inspection
report. This matter will be pursued during future inspections.
The team noted improvements in many areas inspected.
Plant management was
aggressively addressing long term plant performance.
However,
some issues
discussed in the report deal with areas of potential programmatic weakness.
