SUBJECT:

ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE/MANAGEMENT MEETING

Gentlemen:

This refers to the enforcement

conference

and management

meeting held with

Mr. A. L. Oxsen,

Dr.

G.

D. Bouchey,

Mr. J.

P. Burn, and other

members of the

Supply System staff in the Region

V office on June 28,

1989.

The subjects

discussed

are

summarized

in the enclosed

report.

The purpose of the conference

was to discuss

potential

enforcement

issues

related to environmental qualification of electrical

equipment

and your

commercial

grade

procurement

and dedication

process.

After completion of the

enforcement

conference,

we also discussed

the high number of shutdown cooling

isolations that occurred during the

1989 refueling outage,

as well as other

issues of current interest.

Enforcement action involving the environmental qualification issues

discussed

during the enforcement

conference

is being reviewed

and will be addressed

in

separate

correspondence.

With regard to the commercial

grade

procurement

and dedication

process,

we

require

more information on the acceptability of the

10 items in question

before

we can conclude

whether

a hardware deficiency exists.

During the

conference

we agreed with your plan to reevaluate

the suitability of these

items for safety related

use,

which was expected

to take 30-45 days to com-

plete.

However,

due to the potential safety significance of the five items

already installed in the plant, reevaluation of these

items

was requested

on

an expedited basis.

Your reevaluation of the installed items

was provided to

us in your letter dated July 10,

1989 which we reviewed

and concluded that

additional

information was

needed

to complete

our evaluation.

Therefore,

we

requested

in our letter dated July 14,

1989, that you resubmit your response

to our original request with emphasis

on identification and verification of

the applicable critical characteristics.

Based

upon our discussions

at the

conclusion of the enforcement

conference,

we understand

your reevaluation for

the remaining

items will be submitted in writing by August 15,

1989 along

with any available

followup information on the five installed items.

As also discussed

in the enclosed

report,

we are concerned

about the

number

of shutdown cooling isolations

experienced

at the

WNP-2 facility during the

1989 refueling outage.

While we recognize that these

individual events

were

of minimal safety significance,

they clearly indicate

a

need for improved

control of plant activities and/or

improved reliability of safety features

actuation

systems.

We encourage

you to give careful

management

attention to

these

events

and their underlying root causes.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter

and the enclosure

will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

Your continued cooperation

is appreciated.

If you have

any questions

concerning this report,

we will be pleased

to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,
