NRC Region I Inspection

Report

No. 50-220/89-26

This letter transmits

the

findings of

a special

team inspection

conducted

by

Messrs.

W.

Cook

and

T. Johnson

of this office,

and

Mr. L. Plisco

of

NRR

on

September

25-29,

1989,

at

the

Nine Mile Point

Station.

The

purpose

of the

inspection

was

to

evaluate

the

thoroughness

of your

self-assessment

of the

readiness

to restart

Nine Mile Point Unit 1, which was documented

to the

NRC in

the

Readiness

for Restart

Report

dated

September

8,

1989.

In addition,

the

team

assessed

whether

there

was sufficient evidence

to warrant

an

NRC inte-

grated

assessment

team

inspection

( IATI).

A

summary

of

the

findings

was

presented

to you

and

other

members

of your staff at

the

conclusion

of the

inspection.

Overall, the

team concluded that your self-assessment

process

was effective

and

found evidence of thorough examinations

in most of the specific areas

reviewed.

Further,

the

team

judged

your staff

to

have

the

essential

components

to

properly assess

your activities.

Regarding

evidence of progress,

the team concluded that there

had been

a marked

improvement

in Niagara

Mohawk performance

compared to the special

team inspec-

tion, earlier this year,

However,

the

team

noted that there

were

a

number of

open

items

identified

by your

self-assessment

process

whose

associated

root

causes

and related corrective

actions

may not be

bound

by your Restart

Action

Plan

and your Restart

Readiness

Report.and

could impact Unit 1's readiness

for

restart.

Also,

the

team

noted

that

much

work remained

to, be

done prior to

restart.

The

team

suggested

that

Niagara

Mohawk

reexamine

the facility's

readiness

for the

NRC IATI, planned for October

1989.

Subsequent

to the

inspection,

you

assured

NRC

management

on October 3, 1989,

that Niagara

Mohawk was

ready for the

IATI and that the start of the

IATI on

October

4,

1989,

was appropriate.

The IATI was

performed

as

planned

and

was

completed

October 20,

1989.

In your transmittal letter dated

September

8,

1989, you committed to informing

this office when actions

associated

with these

open

items are complete.

Please

inform

us

of the

resultant

root

causes

and corrective

actions,

and

whether

these

items are

bound

by your existing corrective action programs.
