Dear Mr. Sylvia:
SUBJECT:
NINE MILEPOINT UNIT2 ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEM
FUNCTIONALINSPECTION, NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO.
50-410/93-81
This refers to the announced electrical distribution system function inspection (EDSFI)
conducted by Mr. Leonard Cheung of this office from November 29, 1993, through
January 28, 1994.
The inspection included a review of activities authorized for Nine Mile
Point Unit 2. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
This inspection was directed toward areas important to public health and safety.
The purpose
of this inspection was to determine whether the electrical distribution system as designed,
installed, and configured at Nine Mile Point Unit 2 is capable of performing its intended
safety functions.
In addition, this inspection also included a review of your self-assessment
of the electrical distribution system and a review of your response to the deficient condition
that the high pressure core spray (HPCS) system injection valve failed to open during testing
as reported in Nine MilePoint Unit 2 LER 93-10.
Based on the team's independent review of selected electrical and mechanical design areas,
and maintenance and test areas,
the team determined that your electrical distribution system
is currently capable of performing its intended function.
The team also determined that your
self-assessment
was comprehensive
and of high quality, and that your actions in response to
the deficient condition that the HPCS system injection valve failed to open during testing
were appropriate.
