Senior Vice President - Nuclear

Dear Mr. Byram:
SUBJECT:
NRC REGION I COMBINED INSPECTION 50-387/94-11; 50-388/94-12
The enclosed report documents a resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs. G. S.
Barber and D. J. Mannai, and others from May 24, 1994 through July 18, 1994, at the
Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station (SSES), Salem Township, Pennsylvania.
Areas relevant
to the health and safety of the public examined during the inspection are described in the
enclosed report.
At the conclusion of the inspection, Mr. G. S. Barber, Senior Resident
Inspector, summarized the inspection findings with Mr. Robert A. Breslin and other
members of your staff.
During the inspection period, your staff modified the Unit 2 Residual Heat Removal system
pump discharge check valves.
The modification contained a vendor design error which
resulted in draining of the 'B'oop of RHR. This vendor design error was not detected by
your staff during the modification implementation process.
We are concerned that the quality
of engineering review involving the modification process may not be sufficiently rigorous
relative to equipment design changes involving safety-related components,
We understand
this matter is still under review and evaluation by your staff.
Consequently,
we'consider this
matter unresolved pending our evaluation of your corrective actions.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
its enclosures willbe placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
No response to this letter
is required.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
