Dear Mr. Sylvia:

This letter transmits the results of the resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs.

B. Norris, R. Plasse,

Point Units 1 and 2, Scriba, New York. The inspectors based their findings on observation

of activities in progress,

interviews with personnel,

and selective examinations of procedures

and representative

records.

The resident inspectors discussed

the inspection findings with

you and members of your staff at the exit meeting conducted on April 28, 1994.

Your staff operated and performed forced outage maintenance at both units safely.

Control

oversight of daily plant operations,

and your

organizations overall performance during the forced outages were noted strengths.

However,

some weaknesses

in engineering support during the Unit 1 startups were identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
