SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-387/99-05 and 50-388/99-05
Dear Mr. Byram:
On June 7, 1999, the NRC completed an inspection at your Susquehanna
Steam Electric
Station (SSES) Unit 18 2 reactor facilities. The inspection covered routine activities by the
resident inspectors and an announced review of your year 2000 computer software verification
activities, by a regional inspector.
The enclosed report presents the results of these inspections.
The inspectors discussed the findings of these inspections with Mr. G. Kuczynski, General
Manager SSES, and others ofyour staff, at an exit meeting at the completion of the inspection
pe nod.
Overall, your staff safely operated the facilityduring this period.
However, the NRC has
determined that three Severity Level IVviolations of NRC requirements occurred.
These
violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Appendix C ofthe
Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the subject inspection report and involve use
of an invalid indication for a primary containment isolation valve, improper maintenance on the
"B"emergency diesel generator, and improper installation of all Unit 1 and 2 safety relief valve
acoustic monitors. We noted that these three violations occurred, in part, because of
performance errors by members ofyour staff. Ifyou contest the violations or severity level of
these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days ofthe date ofthis inspection report,
with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control
Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the
Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,
DC 20555-0001 and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station.
