SUBJECT:

Dear Dr. Mecredy:

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-244/97-09

This letter transmits the results of safety inspections conducted

by NRC inspectors at the

Ginna Nuclear Power Plant from August 4, through September

7, 1997. At the conclusion

of the inspection, the findings were discussed

with Mr. J. Widay and others of your staff.

During the five week period covered by this inspection period, we noted safe plant

operations'.

Overall operator performance during the inspection period was good.

Minor

,difficulties were observed with the existing process for monitoring lifted leads and jumpers

in the plant; however, these did not effect safe operation of the plant,

Good maintenance

and safety practices were also observed.

Your radioactive waste

management

and radioactive materials shipping programs were effectively managed;

however, two quality assurance

audits in this area were weak.

ln accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of this letter

and its enclosures

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Sincerely,

Origina1
