Inspection
Report
No. 50-220/89-16
This letter transmits
the results of the Special
Team Inspection
(STI) led by
Mr. Glenn Meyer of this office from May 22,
1989, to May 26,
1989, at Nine Mile
Point Unit 1, Scriba,
A summary of the findings was presented
to Mr.
Kim Dahlberg
and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The
team evaluated
additional allegations
by a former Unit
1 technician
concerning
problems during 1986.
Our review noted that Niagara
Mohawk Power Corporation
(NMPC) was previously
made
aware of some of these
issues.
The team conducted
an
independent
site inspection
and concluded that specific facts in the allegations
were in part substantiated
and with one exception did not constitute violations of
NRC requirements.
One non-cited violation was identified regarding
the lack of
proper administrative
paperwork to document pressure
switch calibrations
performed
on August 9,
1985.
The
NRC also concludes that weaknesses
in work control associated
with HPCI switch calibration
and welding in the drywell are additional
examples
of the fai lure of NMPC in 1986 to aggressively
identify and correct problems.
These additional
examples
would not have
changed
the enforcement
action taken
based
upon Inspection
Report 50-220/86-17.
The
NRC is also concerned
that the
NMPC Fitness for Duty Program,
implemented
pur-
suant to the NRC's policy statement,
has not been effective in detecting
or deter-
ring illegal drug use.
The team
found that three of six individuals alleged to
have
used illegal drugs in 1986 subsequently
tested positive during NMPC's
1988
investigation,
substantiating
in part the allegation that illegal drugs were
likely used
and that
NMPC's Fitness for Duty Program in effect at the time did
not detect their use.
The
team concluded that
NMPC's investigations
in 1988 of
illegal drug use
by
NMPC personnel
and the resultant actions
appeared
consistent
with the
NMPC Fitness for Duty Program
as revised
in April 1987.'he
Fitness
for Duty Program is currently being upgraded to meet
NRC's
new rules
on Fitness
for Duty (10 CFR Part 26) and will be the subject of subsequent
inspections.
We appreciate
your cooperation.
No reply to this letter is required.
