Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection

Report

No. 50-220/88-20

and 50-410/88-20

This letter transmits

the results of the routine inspection

conducted

by

Messrs.

W. Cook,

R. Laura,

R.

Temps

and others of this office on November

18,

1988 through January

6,

1989 at Nine Mile Point Units

1 and 2, Scriba,

New

York.

A summary of the findings was presented

to Mr.

R. Abbott and other

members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

During this period the inspectors

noted three different errors

made during the

work release

process

in Unit 2.

Two errors were related

to the tagout

system,

and the other

was the result of maintenance

being performed

on the wrong

component.

Although individually these

events

are of minor safety

significance,

we are concerned

that they indicate

a downward trend in

performance,

specifically inattention to detail.

At the exit meeting, your

staff acknowledged

our concern

and stated corrective action

was already in

progress

to reverse this trend.

We intend to closely monitor this recent

trend in performance at Unit 2 and discuss

our observations

with you during

our routine communications.

The inspectors

also identified an unsatisfactory

condition in the Unit 2

service water bays involving uncontroled

leakage of service water spilling on

equipment

and electrical

components

in the space.

We are particularly

concerned

that this condition apparently existed for sometime without

appropriate attention or corrective action by your staff.

In addition,

as discussed

in section 7.e. of the enclosed

report,

please

respond

to this office confirming your intentions in resolving the Unit

1

vi'tal equipment

access

controls

and your tentative

schedule

for completion of

this effort.

The response

requested

by this letter is not subject to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget as required

by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of- 1980,

PL No.96-511.
