Dear Dr. Mecredy:
SUBJECT:
INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-244/93-08
This letter refers to the announced
inspection conducted by Mr. H. Gregg of this office on
April 12-16 and May 24-28, 1993, at the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant;
The inspector
discussed
the results of the inspection with Mr. J. Widay and other members of your staff on
April 16, 1993, and with Mr. T. Schuler and other members of your staff on May 28, 1993.
This inspection focused on two specific service water system problems, failed service water
valves and leakage of underground piping, that were identified by your staff.
This inspection
concluded on June 18, 1993, with a review of the status of your actions to resolve the
findings.
The service water system has an important role in protecting the health and safety of the
public by providing coolant to safety-related
components to enable them to perform their
functions.
The inspection consisted of observations of in-process work, removed, valves and
internals, and condition of the piping. In addition, selected reviews were made of your
service water documentation, piping drawings and maintenance records.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain activities relating to timely identification and
correction of service water valve failures appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements.
Specifically, two manual locked open service water valves that failed in closed. position with
discs separated
from their stems were not identified until the 1993 outage.
These valves
were in failed closed position for an undetermined time during operation.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement
Actions" (Enforcement Policy), 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1992), an enforcement
conference to discuss the apparent violation is scheduled for July 16, 1993, in the NRC
Region I Office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
This enforcement conference willbe open
to public observation in accordance with the Commission's trial program as discussed in the
enclosed Federal Register Notice (Enclosure 2).
Since an enforcement conference willbe
held, no Notice of Violation is presently being issued for this finding. The purposes of this

Dr. Robert C. Mecredy
conference are to discuss the causes
and safety significance of the apparent violation, to
review your completed short-term actions and your proposed long-term corrective actions, to
provide you the opportunity to point out any errors in our report, and to discuss any other
information that willhelp us determine the appropriate enforcement action in accordance with
the Enforcement Policy. In particular, we expect you to discuss:
(1) the corrective actions
for the failures of the valves when the discs separated
from the stems,
(2) the specific
reasons why corrective actions were not, taken earlier when similar,valve failures occurred,
and (3) the ability of.the safety injection pumps to perform their post-accident mitigation-
function had service water flow to the safety injection pump thrust bearing coolers been
isolated either by failure of valve 4739 which was found to be severely degraded oi when
valve 4739 was closed during a service water pump surveillance.
Additionally, our
inspection report described an underground service water leak that we expect you to discuss
including your planned corrective actions.
You willbe advised by separate
correspondence
of the results of our deliberations on these
matters.
No response regarding the apparent violation is required at this time.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Marvin W. Hodges, Director
Division of Reactor Safety
