Dear Mr. Sylvia:

Subject:

NRC Region I Combined Inspection Repoic No. 50-220/92-22 and

50-410/92-25

This refers to the results of the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs.

W. Schmidt, R. Laura, and W. Mattingly and Ms. C. Beardslee from August 16 through

September 26, 1992, at Nine Mile Point Units I and 2, Scriba, New York. Mr. Schmidt

discussed

the inspection findings with members of your staff at the exit meeting conducted on

October 5, 1992.

This inspection was directed toward areas important to public health and safety.

The

enclosed NRC Region I Inspection Report describes

the areas examined during the inspection.

Within these areas,

the inspection consisted of observation of activities in progress,

interviews

with personnel,

and selective examinations of procedures

and representative

records.

Your staff took prompt and appropriate corrective actions to mitigate the affects of degraded

conditions of equipment at Unit I. At Unit 2 an automatic scram occurred due to a weak

understanding of the feedwater and condensate

system integrated operation, and one of the

oft-site power lines was lost.

Our review of these events and their similarities to previous

issues

is ongoing.
