SUBJECT:

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-244/98-13

Dear Dr. Mecredy:

This letter transmits the results of safety inspections conducted by NRC inspectors at the Ginna

Nuclear Power Plant from November 30, 1998, through January 10, 1999. At the conclusion of

the inspection, the findings were discussed with Mr. J. Widay and others of your staff.

Throughout the six weeks covered by this inspection, the plant was maintained and operated

safely. We noted that significant actions had been implemented to improve previous

weaknesses

in your diagnostics and corrective actions for recurring Westinghouse circuit

breaker failures at your facility. The root cause analyses performed to address the breaker

failures were comprehensive,

and your circuit breaker maintenance program for the low voltage

circuit breakers was improved.

In addition, we noted that a simulated severe accident

mitigation drillwas well planned and coordinated, and operators performed well during the

exercise.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosures willbe placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Sincerely,

Original
