SUBJECT:
NOTICE OI" VIOLATION
INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-387/90-81; 50-388/90-81
This letter refers to the special maintenance
team inspection led by Mr. D. Caphton of this office
from October 9 to October 19 and November 5 to November 9, 1990.
The inspection included a
review of activities authorized for the Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station at Berwick,
At the conclusion of the initial inspection on October 19, 1990, Mr. Caphton
discussed
the team's findings with you and those members of your staff identified in the enclosed
report.
This inspection was performed as part of the NRC's industrywide effort to evaluate the
effectiveness of maintenance activities at licensed power reactors.
Areas examined during this
inspection are identified in the enclosed report.
The team concluded that the maintenance program
at the Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station is acceptable.
However, based on the results of this inspection, certain activities appeared
to be in violation of
NRC requirements,
as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice).
We are concerned
about the violations because of the possible safety hazards which could result from the existence of
potentially unreviewed safety questions,
the failure to maintain environmental qualifications, the
lack of independent review of plant procedures,
the failure to adequately preplan m'aintenance
activities, and the lack of regard for procedural controls.
