NRC Region

Report
Nos.
50-220/89-08
and
50-410/89-08
This
letter
transmits
the
results
of
the
routine
inspection
conducted
by
Messrs..
W. Cook,
R. Laura,
R.
Temps
and
others
of
this
office
on
September
7,
1989
through October
18,
1989,
at
Nine Mile Point Units
1
and
2,
Scriba,
A summary of the findings was presented
to Mr. J. Willis and
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Inspector
walkdown of the Unit
1
Emergency Ventilation
System identified that
the calibration of heating
element
thermostats
and the installation of a char-
coal filter deluge
system
appear
to have
been
inadequately controlled.
Accord-
ingly,
we believe
an enforcement
conference
is appropriate
to further discuss
these
findings
and
assess
their
safety
significance,
and will schedule
an
enforcement
conference.
At the
enforcement
conference,
you should
be prepared
to discuss
the
cause
and safety
significance of the potential violations,
the
corrective
actions
taken,
and
any aggravating
or mitigating factors
regarding
these
items.
The
inspectors
concluded
that
Unit
2
personnel
had violated post-maintenance
testing
requirements
regarding
the inoperability of the unit cooler for the
High Pressure
emergency
diesel
generator
control
room.
A Notice of
Violation is attached
and
has
been
categorized
as Severity
Level
IV according
to
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix
C (Enforcement Policy).
We are
concerned
with the higher
incidence of personnel
errors at Unit 2.
The
post-maintenance
testing
violation
resulted
from
personnel
errors.
Unit
2
experienced
three
during this
inspection
report
period,
two of which
were the result of personnel
errors.
Several
other recent
personnel
errors at
Unit
2
have
resulted
in
Technical
Specification
violations,
including
LERs
89%5
and
89-27.
In your
response
to the violation,
please
address
whether
these
incidents
show your
previous
corrective
actions
to
reduce
personnel
errors to have
been ineffective.
