Subject:

NRC Special

Inspection

Report

No. 50-397/93-20

This refers to the special

inspection

conducted

by Hr.

R.

C. Barr, Hr.

D. L.

Proulx,

and Hr. F.

R.

Huey of this office on April 2 through

Hay 17,

1993, of

activities authorized

by

NRC License

No. NPF-21 for your WNP-2 facility.

At

the conclusion of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

This inspection

examined the Harch 31,

1993, plant event that resulted

in

exceeding

Technical Specifications limits for suppression

pool

bypass

leakage,

and circumstances

associated

with the falsification of fire tour logs,

as

reported in Licensee

Event Report

No. 92-023-01,

dated August 6,

1992.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the enclosed

inspection

report.

Within these

areas,

the inspection consisted of selective

examina-

tions of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and

observations

by inspectors.

Based

on the results of this inspection,

two apparent violations were identi-

fied,

and are being considered for escalated

enforcement

in accordance

with

the "General

Statement

of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions"

(Enforcement Policy),

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.

These

apparent violations

involved (1) inadequate

corrective actions for a previous violation, resulting

in the performance of a test which exceeded

NRC requirements for suppression

pool

bypass

leakage

and

(2) falsification of fire tour logs maintained

by your

equipment operators.

In view of the escalated

enforcement

being considered,

a

Notice of Violation is not presently

being issued for these

inspection

findings.

In addition,

please

be advised that the number

and characterization

of the apparent violations described

in the enclosed

inspection report

may

change

as

a result of further

NRC review.

An enforcement

conference

to review the apparent violations has

been

scheduled

for 9:00 a.m.

on June

10,

1993, in the Region

V Office.

The purposes

of this

conference

are to discuss

the apparent violations, their causes

and safety

significance;

to provide you the opportunity to point out any errors in our

inspection report; to provide

an opportunity for you to present your proposed

corrective actions;

and to discuss

any other information that will help us

determine

the appropriate

enforcement

action in accordance

with the

Enforcement Policy.

You will be advised

by separate

correspondence

of the

results of our deliberations

on this matter.

No response

regarding

these

apparent violations is required at this time.

In accordance

with IO CFR 2.790(a) of the

NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter

and the enclosure will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

Should you have

any questions

concerning this inspection,

we will be pleased

to discuss

them with you.
