SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC
INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-397/94-02)
This refers to a special
team inspection
conducted
by Hr.
P. Narbut
and
a team
of NRC and contractor personnel
from January
10-14
and January
24-28,
1994, of
activities authorized
by
NRC Operating
License
No. NPF-21,
and to the
discussions
of findings held by the inspectors with you and other members of
the Supply System staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Additionally,
the results of the inspection
conducted
by Hr. D. Kirsch from November
29
through
December
3 and December
13-17,
1993,
are included in the enclosed
inspection report.
The inspection
was
an examination of the effectiveness
of engineering
and
technical
support.
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.
We noted that you have recently
implemented
several
important improvement
initiatives which appear to be having positive results.
Examples of these
initiatives include your engineering
backlog reduction, your temporary
modification reduction,
and the improved interface
between
engineering
and
other organizations.
Although it is too early to assess
the long term
effectiveness
of your engineering initiatives,
we are encouraged
by your
efforts thus far.
The team also noted that your decision to install
new
metallic-seated
containment
purge
and supply isolation valves,
in order to end
a longstanding
problem with leaks in the rubber-seated
valves,
was
commendable.
Although the team found that engineering
support of plant operations
has
generally improved,
a recent
issue deviates
from that conclusion.
Engineering
appears
to not have
been timely in their review of fuel loading options for
cycle 10.
This issue is still under
NRC review and will be addressed
in a
later inspection report.
The team noted two significant unresolved
items
which warrant additional
management
attention.
The unresolved
items involve:
(1) the adequacy of your proposed modification and the
10 CFR 50.59 safety
evaluation for the
BWR level instrumentation backfill system,
and (2) the
9403310iii 9403i5
ADOCK 05000397
9
P ~
Additionally, based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that
one of
your activities was not conducted
in full compliance with NRC requirements,
as
set forth in the enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice).
The violation
involved the failure to periodically verify the position of manual
containment
isolation valves in accordance
with technical specification requirements.
The
involved valves were
115 manual
bypass
valves for the containment isolation
excess
flow check valves.
You are required to respond to this Tetter and should. follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed
Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response,
you should document the specific actions taken
and
any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing your response
to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions
and the results of future
inspections,
the
NRC will determine
whether further
NRC enforcement
action is
necessary
to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter, the enclosures,
and
your response will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
The response
directed
by this letter
and the accompanying
Notice are not
subject to the clearance
procedures
of the Office of Hanagement
and Budget
as
required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,
Pub.
L.96-511.
Should you have
any questions
concerning this inspection,
we will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
