NRC INSPECTION

REPORT

NOS. 50-275/93-12

and 50-323/93-12

This refers to the routine inspection

conducted

by D. Kirsch,

H. Hiller and

F.

Gee during the period from April 13 through

Hay 24,

1993.

This inspection

examined your activities

as authorized

by

NRC License

Nos.

DPR-80

and

DPR-82.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

the inspectors

discussed

their findings

with members of the

PGSE staff.

Areas examined during this inspection

are described

in the enclosed

inspection

report.

Within these

areas,

the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with

personnel,

and observations

by the inspectors.

The enclosed

report discusses

an area of concern regarding

two inadvertent

boron dilution events

which indicated

a weakness

in your operational

controls.

We note that prompt operator

response

minimized the power increase

which

resulted

from the second

event;

however,

we are concerned

that your admini-

strative procedures

were not adequate

to prevent these

inadvertent dilutions.

Our review of these

events is continuing,

so that

we may fully understand

the

root causes

and programmatic

issues

associated

with these

occurrences.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter

and the enclosure

will be 'placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

Should you have

any questions

concerning this inspection,

we will be pleased

to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

C. A. VanDenburgh,

hief
