SUBJECT:
INSPECTION
NO. 50-220/89"13
This letter refers to the special
safety inspection
conducted
by Mr. Allen Howe
of this office on May 22 - 25,
1989, at the Nine Mile Point Unit-1 plant
specific simulator, of activities authorized
by
NRC License
No.
and to
the discussion
of our findings held by Mr. Howe with yourself and other members
of your staff on May 25,
1989
and to
a subsequent
telephone
discussion
held
between
Mr. Howe and Mr. Dahlberg
and other members of your staff on June
1,
1989.
\\
Afeas examined during this inspection
are described
in the
NRC Region I inspec-
tion report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these
areas,
the inspec-
tion consisted
of selective
examinations
of procedures,
interviews with
personnel,
and observation
by the inspectors.
Within the scope of this inspec-
tion,
no violations or deviations
were observed,
and
we noted substantial
improvement in operator
use of the
Emergency Operating
Procedures.
We have concluded that five crews demonstrated
a satisfactory
level of perform-
ance in the
use of Emergency Operating
Procedures
to support
power operation.
However,
one entire crew and one individual, the Chief Shift Operator
from a
second
crew, did not demonstrate
a satisfactory
level of performance.
During the Nine Mile Point Unit-1 operator
assessments,
we identified a number
of weaknesses
which are described
in Section 4.0 of the enclosed
report.
These
weaknesses
suggest that your current standards
of performance
may not be suffi-
cient or that all shift crews
may not have yet achieved
an acceptable
level of
performance
against the established
standards
in the areas identified.
The
weaknesses
are most evident in crew communications
and crew duties,
assign-
ments,
and responsibilities.
Actions are required
on your part to address
these
and the other identified weaknesses
to further enhance
licensed operator
capabilities.
We request that you respond
in writing within 30 days of the receipt of this
letter with your plans for the correction of the identified weaknesses,
includ-
ing
a determination of when the affected
crew and the Chief Shift Operator,
along with his crew, will be ready for further
NRC assessment.
The
NRC may
also assess
an additional crew(s} to determine
the adequacy of your actions to
correct the other weaknesses
identified.
Also include in this response
your
perspective
on why the weaknesses
and the unsatisfactory
performance of one

crew and
one individual were not identified and corrected
as part of the five
underlying root causes
as noted in your Restart Action Plan.
The responses
requested
by this letter are not subject to the clearance
proce-
dures of the Office of Management
and Budget as required
by the Paperwork
.Reduction Act of 1980,
PL 96-Sll.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
