INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-335/95-16
and 50-389/95-16
Dear Hr. Goldberg:
This refers to the inspection
conducted
August 9-30,
1995, at St.
Lucie
Nuclear Plant.
The purpose of the inspection
was to determine
whether
activities authorized
by the license
were conducted
safely
and in accordance
with NRC requirements.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
the findings were
discussed
with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are identified in the report.
The
inspector
reviewed the failures of two Power Operated Relief Valves.
The
inspection
included
a review of the failure investigation
and programs
or
processes
which resulted
in the incorrect installation of key components
in
the valves during their overhaul
in the
1994 Uni't
1 refueling outage.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted of selective
examinations
of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observation of
activities in progress.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
apparent violations. were identified
'and are being considered for escalated
enforcement
action in accordance
with
the "General
Statement
of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions"
June
30,
1995/NUREG 1600).
The apparent
violations identified are related to
a violation of Technical Specifications
resulting from Power Operated Relief Valve inoperability and to failures to
perform adequate
post-maintenance
and surveillance testing.
Accordingly,
no
Notice of Violation is presently
being issued for these
inspection findings.
In addition, please
be advised that the number
and characterization
of
apparent violations described
in the enclosed
inspection report
may change
as
a result of further
NRC review.
A pr edecisional
enforcement
conference
to discuss
these
apparent violations
has
been
scheduled for September
25,
1995, at 10:00 a.m.
The decision to hold
a predecisional
enforcement
conference
does not mean that the
NRC has
'etermined that violations have occurred or that enforcement
action will be
taken.
This conference
is being held to obtain information to enable
the
NRC
to make
an enforcement
decision,
such
as
a common understanding
of the facts,
root causes,
missed opportunities to identify the apparent violations sooner,
corrective actions,
significance of the issues
and the
need for lasting
and
effective corrective action.
In particular,
we expect you to address
the
safety significance of the inoperable
Power Operated Relief Valves,

particularly with respect to
Low Temperature
Over Pressure
protection.
In
addition, this is an opportunity for you to point out any errors in our
inspection report
and for you to provide any information concerning your
perspectives
on 1) the severity of the apparent violations,
2) the application
of the factors that the
NRC considers
when it determines
the amount of a civil
penalty that may be assessed
in accordance
with Section VI.B.2 of the
and 3) any other application of the Enforcement Policy to
this case,
including the exercise of discretion in accordance
with Section
VII.
You will be advised
by separate
correspondence
of the results of our
deliberations
on this matter.
No response
regarding the apparent violation is
required at this time.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
