SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/93-31, 50-270/93-31 AND

50-287/93-31

Gentlemen:

This concerns your responses to our Notice of Deviation issued on January 25,

1994, concerning activities conducted at your Oconee facility. As indicated in

our letter dated March 18, 1994, your February 24, 1994 response to Deviation

50-269,270,287/93-31-01 did not adequately address the NRC concerns of

simultaneously blowing down both steam generators in the event of a steam line

break in the auxiliary steam header downstream of motor operated valves MS-24 and

MS-33.

Accordingly, you supplemented your initial response on April 8, 1994,

with an engineering evaluation of the postulated break scenario. As addressed

O

under the enclosed Task Interface Agreement (TIA 94-03), we have now completed

our review of your engineering evaluation and have concluded that a blowdown of

both steam generators following a single line break constitutes an unreviewed

safety question.

Therefore, Duke Power Company should take appropriate

corrective action to address this concern. Additionally, since the vulnerability

to blowdown both steam generators is not addressed in the Final Safety Analysis

Report, it should be reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(ii)(B).

Due to the importance of thissmatter, it is requested that you be prepared to

discuss your immediate corrective actions during a telephone conference scheduled

for January 9, 1995.

Following this telephone conference, please submit to this

office a written statement describing steps which have been taken to correct

Deviation 50-269,270,287/93-31-01 and the results achieved, corrective steps

which will be taken to avoid further deviations, and the date when corrective

action will be completed.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this

letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
