MEMORANDUM TO:

Ellis W. Herschoff, Acting Deputy Regional Administrator

FROM:

Carolyn F.

Evans.

Regional

Counsel

SUBJECT:

'DIFFERING PROFESSIONAL

VIEW REGARDING

ST.

LUCIE NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTATION

INSPECTION REPORT 50-335/96-22.

50-389/96-22

In response to your request.

the subject inspection report has been reviewed with

special

attention

devoted to the discussion

under the "Prior Opportunity to

Identify" section of the report.

Giving the inspector's

conclusion that "the

licensee's

failure to resolve the first indications of channel

disagreement

in

a formal, technically defensible way ..

. delayed the identification" a literal

reading,

I can only conclude that in the inspector's

view, licensee failure to

address

the first indications'f channel

discrepancy

in

a formal, technical

manner

as opposed to merely advancing explanations

for the channel

disagreement

indications

delayed

identification of the

channel

miswiring.

Whether this

conclusion is itself reasonable

is for others to determine.

'"first indications" is not very specific; arguably it could encompass

the

first

and

second

channel

discrepancies

or the first through the

very last

discrepancy

noted

before the channel

miswiring was identified.

In no event

however

. can it refer to merely the first indication that was noted at 5X'power,

for the plural of indication is used.
