Subject:
NRC Region I Combined Inspection
Report
Nos.
50-220/89-07
and
50-410/89-07
This
letter
transmits
the
results
of
the
routine
inspection
conducted
by
Messrs.
W. Cook,
R. 'Laura,
R.
Temps
and others of this office on July 7 through
September
6,
1989, at Nine Mile Point Units
1 and
2, Scriba,
A sum-
mary of the findings
was
presented
to Mr. J. Willis and other
members of your
staff at the conclusion of the inspection..
The inspectors
found
numerous
equipment
concerns
during their walkdown of the
Emergency Ventilation System.
Many of these
concerns
had not been
found during
an earlier
Niagara
Mohawk walkdown.
Further,
we
note
that
your
subsequent
evaluation
of these
concerns
concluded
that errors
regarding
heater calibra-
tions could have adversely
impacted
the
Emergency Ventilation System's ability
to perform its function under accident
conditions.
We will continue to evalu-
ate your system walkdowns
and your understanding
regarding
the
shortcomings
of
earlier walkdowns.
Also,
the
inspectors
identified
several
examples
of
poor radiological
work
practices
at Unit 1 that warrant your prompt attention.
Although
each
indi-
vidual
example
is of minor safety significance,
collectively they indicate
a
potential
weakness
in your General
Employee Training program
and
the
need for
additional
supervisory oversight of work activities in the field.
We appreciate
your cooperation.
Sincerely,
James
