Subject:
Inspection
50-244/89-17
(12/12/89
1/08/90, 2/7/90)
This letter,forwards the
NRC report of routine safety inspection of the
R.
E. Ginna Nuclear
Power Plant from December
12,
1989 through January
8,
1989.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
Messrs.
C. Marschall
and
N. Perry of my
staff summarized
inspection findings with Mr. S.
Spector
and other members of
your staff.
The enclosed
report also documents
the February 7,
1990 management
meeting
between
the
NRC and the Rochester
Gas
and Electric Corporation
(RGIEE)
in King of Prussia,
As set forth in the enclosed
RG5E corporate
engineering
personnel
failed to promptly identify a safety injection system design defi-
ciency for prompt correction.
This violation involved ineffective communica-
tion (between
corporate
and site personnel),
which was also identified as
a
weakness
in NRC Systematic
Assessment
of Licensee
Performance
(SALP) Report
87-99.
In addition,
on December
15,
1989, safety injection system motor-
operated
valve maintenance
was performed with an inappropriate
torque specifi-
cation.
The associated
failure of several
levels of assuring cuality indicates
a weakness
in the control of safety-related
maintenance.
You are required to
respond to these violations as specified in Appendix A.
In your reply, please
specifically address
the repetitive nature of ineffective communications,
per-
manent corrective action for the safety injection system design deficiency,
and
programmatic
maintenance
considerations.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Original Signed
