Dear Mr. Keiser:

Subject:

NRC Region I Combined Inspection 50-387/91-02; 50-388/91-02

This letter refers.,to the inspection conducted by Mr. Scott Barber and other inspectors of this

office from February

12 through March 25, 1991, at the Susquehanna

Steam Electric Station,

Salem Township, Pennsylvania.

Areas examined during the inspection are described in the

enclosed report, and include plant operations,

maintenance

and surveillance associated with

normal and outage activities.

At the conclusion of the inspection, Mr. Barber summarized

the inspection findings with Mr. Stanley and other members of your staff,

No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this inspection.

From our review, your management

and control of activities affecting safety was effective.

However, we have noted an example of an instrumentation installation and/or design error

that was not determined during the design review process or during post-modification testing.

This example involved the determination that the inlet and outlet temperature setpoints

affecting the operation of the "A" Standby Gas Treatment System on March 9, 1991, were

improperly established.

Previously, in 1988, Main Steam Isolation Valve differential

temperature detectors were found to been miswired.

While the occurence of this type of

finding appears infrequent, it highlights the importance of ensuring your design review and

post-modification testing programs can detect similar deficiencies during the modification

pi'ocess.

No response

to this letter is required.

In accordance with 10 CFR -2.790 of the NRC's

"Rules of Practice,"

a copy of this letter and the enclosure willbe placed in the NRC Public

Document Room.

Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.

Sincerely,

~-< 'yg
