Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRC Region I Combined Inspection
50-387/89-24;
50-388/89-22
The enclosed
report documents
a Poutine safety inspection
conducted
by
inspectors
of this office on July 30,
1989 - September
9,
1989, at the
Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station
(SSES),
Salem Township, Pennsylvania.
The inspection
covered plant operations,
surveillance,
and maintenance
for
both units.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
Mr. G. Barber
summarized
the inspection findings to Mr. R.
Byram and other members of your staff.
We are concerned that you have set too high a threshold, for reporting engineering
deficiencies.
Notifications and Licensee
Event Reports
(LERs) are required
whenever the plant is in a condition that is outside its design basis.
There
were
two circumstances
documented
in the enclosed
report where.you identified
that the plant was outside its design basis.
Your engineering staff promptly
identified and defined these
issues.
However,
these conditions were apparently
not reported
because
your staff believed that the design basis could be accep-
tably changed to addrnss
the discrepant
conditions.
NRC reporting criteria
require these conditions to be promptly reported in order to assure
NRC's
understanding
of the licensee's justification for continued operation while the
design basis is being revised,
and to assure that the generic aspects
of the
conditions are evaluated
in a timely manner.
In order to assure
that
we have
a
common understanding
regarding
NRC reporting requirements,
please
schedule
a
management
meeting with us at your earliest
convenience.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Qjjggl Signe5
