Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

INSPECTION NO. 50-397 86-

Enclosed is the report of the

team inspection

conducted

by Mr. R.

C. Wilson

and other

NRC representatives

on April 28 to May 2, 1986, at Washington Nuclear

Project

No.

2 of activities authorized

by NRC License

No. NPF-21.

The team's

findings were discussed

with members of your staff at the conclusion of the

inspection.

The inspection

reviewed your implementation'of

a program as required

by 10 CFR 50.49 for establishing

and maintaining the qualification of electric

equipment within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49.

Within these areas,

the inspection

consisted of examinations

of selected

procedures

and records,

interviews with

personnel,

and observations

by the inspectors.

The inspection

determined

that you have

implemented

a program to meet the

requirements of 10 CFR 50.49.

Five deficiencies in your program implemen-

tation,

summarized

in Appendix A, are classified

as Potential

Enforcement/

Unresolved

Items

and will be referred

to the

NRC Region

V office for further

action.

The most serious deficiencies

involve unqualified installations of

three

Rosemount

1151 transmitters

and

numerous

Limitorque operators.

A gener-

ic violation was also identified involving inadequate

implementation of proce-

dural controls for the documentation

or installation of four types of equip-

ment, including undocumented

modifications to one of the Rosemount

trans-

mitters.

Two other files failed to fully document

component qualification

for Rockbestos

cable

and Westinghouse

containment penetrations.

Three addi-

tional concerns

are classified

as

Open Items,

and

a future

NRC inspection

will review your actions

concerning

them.

Details of all the deficiencies

and concerns

are discussed

in the enclosed

inspection report.

Your letter of Aly 10,

1986 provides descriptions of actions

you have taken

to address

the inspection

concerns.

Subject to future verification, it appears

that all identified equipment deficiencies

were corrected

by these actions,

but

that not all procedural

concerns

are resolved.
