Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection

50-244 86-0

This refers to the routine safety'nspection

conducted

by Mr.

W. A. Cook and

Mr. T.

K. Kim of this office on February

9,

1986 through February

28,

1986 at

the

R.

E. Ginna Nuclear

Power Plant of activities authorized

by

NRC license

No.

DPR-18 and to the discussions

of our findings by Mr. Cook with Mr. S.

M. Sp'ector

and other members of your staff periodically during the inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the

NRC Region I Inspec-

tion Report which is enclosed with this letter.

Within these

areas,

the in-

spection

consisted

of selective

examinations

of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel

and observations

by the inspectors.

Based on, the results of this inspection, it appears

that one of your activities

was not conducted

in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set forth in the

Notice of Violation, enclosed

herewith as Appendix A.

Specifically,

on

February

16,

1986 you discovered that containment integrity requirements

for

refueling were violated while maintenance

was being performed, concurrently,

on Vital Bus 14.

Although self-identified,

and of relatively low safety

significance,

this event is considered

by us to be another

example of insuf-

ficient review, control

and planning of station maintenance activities as

identified and discussed

in our January

24,

1986 cover letter for Inspection

Report 50-244/85-26.

This violation has

been categorized

by severity level in accordance

with the

General

Statement

of Policy and Procedure

for Enforcement Actions (Enforce-

ment Policy),

10 CFR 2, Appendix

C (1985).

You are required to respond to this

letter and in preparing your response,

you should follow the instructions in

Appendix A.

As discussed

with you we believe that your February

21,

1986 response

to the

Inspection

Report 50-244/85-26 violation does not reflect an understanding

of

our concern.

It appears

that your administrative controls for plant main-

tenance

are not uniformly applied to ensure that all station

maintenance

activities are reviewed

and appropriately evaluated for their affect or poten-

tial impact on Technical Specification required

and safety-related

equipment.

In your response

to this second violation we request that you include actions

taken to address

the previous violation concerns

and steps

taken to prevent

recurrence.

The response

directed

by this letter and the accompanying

Notice are not

subject to clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget as

required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of, 1980,

PL 96-511.

Your cooperation

is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Grigiaal SigaedSy!
