SUBJECT'TATION BLACKOUT INSPECTION,
INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-410/95-07
Dear Mr. Sylvia:
This letter transmits
the
NRC Region
I inspection report for the announced
station blackout inspection
conducted
by Hr. L. Cheung of this office from
March 20-24
and April 3-7,
1995, at Nine Mile Point, Unit 2, in Scriba,
The purpose of this inspection
was to review your programs,
procedures,
training, equipment,
systems,
and supporting documentation for
implementing the Station Blackout Rule,
"Loss of All Alternating
Current Power."
At the conclusion of this inspection,
the findings were
discussed
with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed
report.
The inspection
was directed
toward areas
important to public health
and
safety.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are described
in the
NRC
inspection report,
which is enclosed
with this letter.
Within these
areas,
the inspection consisted
of selective
examination of procedures
and
representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observations
by the
inspectors.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
the inspector determined that Nine
Mile Point, Unit 2 (NM2), had implemented
an acceptable
program for the
station blackout
(SBO) rule.
The inspector also determined that:
(1)
NH2 had
an extensive
emergency diesel
generator
operational
trending program;
(2) the
SBO procedures
provided appropriate
and clear instructions for the operators
to respond to
a
SBO event;
(3)
NM2 had established
a good
and thorough
training program for operations
personnel;
and
(4)
NM2 had provided
good
management
oversight
and in-depth self-assessment
to the
SBO implementation
program.
The inspector identified
a violation involving failure to follow an
administrative
procedure
when
a lower-tier station
procedure
was being
revised.
However, this violation was not being cited because
the criteria
specified in
10 CFR 2, Appendix C, Section VII.B of the enforcement policy
were satisfied.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the
NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter
and its enclosure will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
