Attention:

Mr.

G.

C.

Sorensen

Manager of Regulatory

Gentlemen:

Subject:

NRC Inspection

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Messrs.

C. J.

Bosted

and

R.

C.

Sorensen

of this office during the period January

21 " March 10,

1988 of

activities authorized

by

NRC Operating

License

No.

NPF-21,

and to the

discussions

of findings held by the inspectors

with Mr.

C.

Powers

and other

members of the Supply System's staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the enclosed

inspection

report.

Within these

areas,

the inspection 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 two of your

activities were not conducted

in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set

forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed

herewith

as Appendix A.

Your response

to this Notice is to be submitted in accordance

with the

provisions of 10

CFR 2.201

as stated in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.

In

accordance

with 10

CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter, the enclosures,

and

your response

wi 11

be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

We recognize that the specific design

problems cited in Violation B of the

enclosed

Notice were identified by your plant staff personnel.

However,

we

are concerned that your management

did not recognize

these

(and other design

problems discussed

in the enclosed

inspection report)

as

symptoms of a possible

breakdown in your design control program,

and that

a thorough root cause

assessment

of the problems

was not initiated.

In view of these

observations

and those identified during our August 1987 Safety System Functional

Inspection

(Inspection

Report

No. 87-19),

we request that in your response

you also

provide detailed findings of the guality Assurance

root cause

assessment

of

the design review inadequacies;

corrective actions,

including your schedule

for completion of the corrective actions;

and your assessment

of the quality

of modifications that have

been previously installed in the plant.

The response

directed

by this letter and the accompanying

Notice are not

subject to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget as

required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,

PL 96-511.
