c/o Miss Catherine Seibert

Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection
No. 50-410/85-10
This refers to the routine inspection
conducted
by Mr.
R. A.
Gramm and
R.
M.
Wheeler of this office on March
19 to April 26,
1985 at Nine Mile Point, Unit 2,
Scriba,
New York of activities authorized
by
NRC License
No.
CPPR-112
and to
the discussions
of our findings held by Mr. Gramm with Mr. C.
Beckham
and other
members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas
examined during this examination
are described
in the
NRC Region I
Inspection
Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these
areas,
the
inspection consisted
of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observations
by the inspectors.
Additional inspection
was performed to ascertain
the adequacy of the Spent
Fuel
Pool gates.
It was found that sufficient actions
have
been initiated at
the site to ensure
the final quality of the gate weldments.
However, the
onsite corrective actions
were initiated after an allegation identified
potential
problems
regarding
the gate weldments.
The allegation therefore
was
valid as the vendor Quality Control
and Procurement Quality Assurance
functions did not identify the deficiencies prior to shipment to the site.
Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that one of your activities
was not conducted
in full compliance with NRC requirements,
as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed
herewith
as Appendix A.
This violation has
been
categorized
by severity level in accordance
with the
NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), published in the Federal
Register
Notice (49 FR 8583) dated
March 8,
1984.
You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing
your response,
you should follow the instructions
in Appendix A.
During the cour se of this inspection,
the conduct of the Reactor Coolant System
hydrostatic test
was closely monitored.
Our pre-test
review of the test pro-
cedure identified several
inaccuracies
that were not found during your
technical
review of that procedure.
We expect that'future pre-operationa'l
test
procedures s(ill be subject to enhanced
technical
reviews prior to their
approval.
We intend to closely monitor the effectiveness
of your actions in
this regard.
