SUBJECT:

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-387/96-11,

50-388/96-1 1.

Dear Mr. Byram:

On December 2, 1996, the NRC completed

an inspection at your Susquehanna

Steam

Electric Station

1 5 2 reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the results of that

inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the

Susquehanna

Steam Electric Station (SSES) was generally characterized

by safety-

conscious operations,

adequate

engineering support, and adequate

maintenance

activities.

Upper level PPRL management,

and upper level SSES site management

were aggressive

in

the identification and resolution of problems.

The Plant Operations Review Committee

demonstrated

a good safety perspective

in their recommendation

to shut down Unit 1 and

resolve an erosion corrosion problem after identification of a Unit 1 steam line drain pinhole

leak.

We are concerned,

however, about three areas identified during this inspection period.

Our

findings indicate weaknesses

in: operator interpretations of when to enter applicable

Technical Specification Action Statements,

certain maintenance

work authorization

documentation,

and selected Nuclear System Engineering operability determinations.

It is

our understanding

that you are aware of these concerns

and have initiated those actions

that you consider appropriate to resolve them.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of this letter

and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR)].

Sincerely,

Original Signed By:
