SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF DEVIATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/91-21)
This refers to the special Electrical Distribution System Functional Inspection
(EDSFI) conducted by a team of inspectors and led by N. Merriweather from this
office on September 23 - October 25, 1991.
At
the conclusion of the
inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the report.
The team assessed the design,
implementation,
and engineering and technical
support relative to the Electrical Distribution System (EDS).
The inspection
consisted of a selective review of design calculations, relevant procedures,
representative records, installed equipment in the plant, and interviews with
engineering and technical support staff.
The inspection concluded the Robinson EDS was adequate to perform its.intended
safety function, EDS material condition was good, and engineering and technical
support for the EDS was adequate;
There is limited margin for future load
growth on the emergency busses.
.The team noted that you were aware of the
limitations of the EDS and had mechanisms in place to monitor and control load
growth. It was the team's understanding that a project had been initiated to
investigate possible alternatives to increase the emergency system margins.
The team considered this action to be a strength.
While the team had several findings in the areas of design, maintenance and
testing. The findings do not indicate any programmatic problems they should be
given appropriate attention for timely resolution.
These concerns are
described in the enclosed report details and summarized in Appendix A.
We
request that you respond on writing to each of these findings (except for
finding number 5) within 60 days from the date of this report.
Your response
should state what action you intend to take and when the action will be
complete.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to
deviate from commitments to the NRC,
as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Deviation (Notice). We are concerned about the deviation because your sampling
methodology may compromise your ability to detect diesel fuel oil degradation.
