REPORT 50-397/94-32

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Hr.

R.

identified of this office on October

30 through

December

10,

1994.

The

inspection

included

a review of activities authorized for your Washington

Nuclear Project-2 facility.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

the findings

were discussed

with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed

report.

Areas

examined during the inspection

are identified in the report.

Within

these

areas,

the inspection consisted

of selective

examinations of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observation of

activities in progress.

The results of this inspection

are documented

in the

enclosed

report.

We are encouraged

with the

improvements

the Supply System

has

achieved

in the

thoroughness

and effectiveness

of equality Assurance

audits

and recent

event

assessments.

We also note the progress

being 'made in control

room

professionalism

and urge your continued attention to each of these

important

areas.

One

non cited violation was identified involving improper manipulation of a

control rod

and this was in violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.

This

violation is not being cited because

the criteria in paragraph

VII.B.1 of

Appendix

C to

10 CFR Part 2 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice"

were satisfied.

This violation indicated inattention to detail

by your operators.

This issue

was recognized

and corrected

by your staff.

In addition,

our inspectors

identified that

a senior licensed operator

had entered

the incorrect limiting

condition for operation

in

a status

log.

The error existed through three

shift turnovers prior to discovery

by the inspector.

Although this most

recent

issue

was not safety significant, your continued attention

towards

improving operator attention to detail

and implementation of the Technical

Specifications

is encouraged.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the

NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed
