Report

No. 50-220/88-19

and 50-410/88-19

This letter transmits

the results of the routine inspection

conducted

by

Messrs.

W. Cook,

W. Schmidt and

R.

Temps of this office on October 4,

1988

thru November

17,

1988 at Nine Mile Point Units

1 and 2, Scriba,

New York.

A

summary of the-findings was presented

to Mr. K. Dahlberg

and other members of

your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

The recent

increase

in the

number of personnel

errors during the performance

of procedures

is an area of increased

interest

and concern to the

NRC.

Although

some of the errors clearly have mitigating circumstances,

several

have

been

caused

by the failure of personnel

to follow written procedures.

The NRC's concern

in this area

has

been

communicated to your senior site

management.

The resident

inspectors will be closely monitoring this trend in

personnel

errors to ascertain

management

effectiveness

in improving the situation.

In addition, Section

5 of the enclosed

report concluded that your staff's

preparation

and execution of maintenance

repairs to the recirculation

loop

discharge

valve were well thought out and well performed.

However,

a concern

remains regarding your failure to determine

the root cause for the binding.

Please

keep our inspectors

informed of your plans in this regard.

During followup on

NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/98,

concern

over high

temperatures

in the Unit

1 drywell and the effect on environmental qualification

of electrical

components

in the area

were identified and brought to your staff's

attention for review and analysis.

A Notice of Violation, issued

in Inspection

Report 50-220/88-17,

regarding

Technical Specification

(TS) violation of firewatch requirements

is withdrawn

following review of your response

letter, dated October

17,

1988.

The

NRC

agrees with your contention that since the fire door was not breached

the time in question

the

TS was not violated.

However,

we maintain,

and

your staff has agreed,

that further enhancement

in your administrative

program

concerning

issuance

and placement of breach permits is necessary.

This will

be reviewed during

a 'future routine inspection.

We appreciate

your cooperation.
