INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
Dear
Nr. Plunkett:
On Hay 10,
1997, the
NRC completed
an inspection at your St. Lucie
1 and
2
-reactor facilities.
The enclosed
report -presents
the results of that
inspection.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
the
NRC has determined that
violations of NRC requirements
occurred.
The violation involving multiple
clearance
program-related
failures is of concern
because it indicates that
corrective actions for previous clearance
problems were not successful.
While
we are encouraged that your corrective action program identified a negative
trend in this area
and resulted in the initiation of a detailed root cause
evaluation,
prior to the failures identified in this report, your response
in
initiating compensatory
measures
(such
as increasing levels of clearance
reviews)
was slow.
This violation is cited based
upon the number of examples
occur ring in a relatively short period of time and the resemblance
of some of
the examples to -previous failures.
A second violation is enclosed
which involves the routine heavy use of
overtime employed by FPL to staff Reactor Operator positions at the facility.
Our review indicated that the practice
has
been occurring for
some time and
that the need for extensive overtime was largely the result of internal
management
decisions
(as opposed to unexpected attrition).
We are concerned
. that this correctable practice
was allowed to persist in light of the known
effects of'atigue
on operator
attentiveness
and decision-making.
While we
identified no events
which were the result of fatigue,
we are concerned
over
any impact fatigue may have in the future.
These violations are cited in the enclosed
Notice of Violation, and the
circumstances
surrounding the violations are described
in detail in the
enclosed
report.
Please
note that you are required to respond to this letter
and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed
Notice when
preparing your response.
The
NRC will use your response,
in part. to
determine whether further enforcement action is necessary
to ensure
compliance
with regulatory requirements.
