Subject:
Inspection
Nos. 50-220/88-22
and 50-410/88-23
This refers
to the
special
safety
inspection
conducted
by
an
NRC
Emergency
Operating
Procedure
Inspection
team
on
June
20-24,
1988, of activities pt the
Nine Mile Point Units
1
and 2,
and to the discussions
of our findings with you
and
members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The
purposes
of the
inspection
were
to verify that
the
Emergency
Operating
Procedures
(EOPs)
are
technically correct,
that
the
can
be physically
carried
out in the plant,
and that
the
can
be
implemented
by the plant
staff.
The enclosed
inspection report identifies areas
examined during the inspection.
The areas
inspected for Unit
1 included
a comparison of the
EOPs with the
Emergency
Procedure
Guidelines
and the Plant Specific Technical
Guidelines,
a
review of the
by control
room and plant walkdowns,
an evaluation of the
on the plant referenced
simulator,
a human factors analysis of the
EOPs;
a
review of
EOP training for operators
and the on-going evaluation
program for
including quality
Assurance
Program
evolvement,
and
an
evaluation
of
containment
venting
procedures.
The
area
inspected
on
Unit
2
included
an
evaluation of an operating
crew on the plant-referenced
simulator.
The
items
identified
during
the
course
of this
inspection
are
not
being
char acterized
as violations of
NRC requirements
at this time.
However,
two
significant deficiencies
were identified regarding Unit
1 during the inspection
that warrant your attention
and
should
be addressed
prior to Unit
1 restat t.
The
inspection
report
also
identifies
unresolved
items
for
the
specific
functional areas.
The first significant deficiency was identified concerning the Unit
1 operating
crew performance
during the evaluation of the
on the simulator.
The
NRC
determined that the Unit
1 operating
crew could not properly implement the
and that
the
crew
lacked
an
understanding
of the
bases
for the
EOPs.
This
deficiency appears
to be the result of inadequate
management
attention to the
quality of training provided to the licensed operators
at Unit l.

The second significant deficiency identified was the lack of assurance
that the
can
be
implemented
in the plant.
This defi'ciency is based
on the lack of
adequate
preplanning
on the
equipment,
tools,
jumpers
and material
needed
to
perform the specific
EOP tasks;
lack of validation of out of control
room
actions;
lack of verification of plant hardware specifically against
the
EOPs;
lack of training on out of control room
EOP actions;
lack of adequate
administrative
controls to assure
that
changes
made
to procedures
referenced
in the
do
not
impact
the
EOPs;
and,
lack of quality assurance
involvement
in the
program.
We request that you respond,
in writing, within thirty days of receipt of this
letter identifying actions
taken
or planned
to address
these
deficiencies
as
well as to the specific unresolved
items identified in the enclosed
inspection
report.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations,
a copy of this
letter
and
the
enclosed
inspection
report will be
placed
in the
NRC Public
Document
Room.
The
response
requested
by this
letter
is
not
subject
to
the
clearance
procedures
of the Office of management
and Budget
