INSPECTION
REPORT 50-397/95-09
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Nr.
R.
C. Barr,
and the inspectors
identified in this report, of this office on March
5 through April 22,
1995.
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 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 the inspectors.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements,
as specified in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation is of concern
because it resulted
in
operation of selected
containment
atmosphere
monitors in excess
of their
qualified life and indicates
a potential for other components
having
been
assigned
an inappropriate qualified life.
Our inspectors
observed
inconsistencies
in the control
room
operators'mplementation
of your management
expectations
for formality, command
and
control, communications,
and log keeping.
Control
room operators effectively
implemented expectations
in responding
to the reactor trip of April 5,
1995,
but control
room operators
did not consistently
implement your expectations
during the reactor
shutdown of April 21
and
22,
1995.
Your continued
attention to improving consistent
operator
implementation of your expectations
is encouraged.
Section
2.1 of the enclosed
inspection report discusses
the identification by
your staff of a failed strut in the nonsafety outlet piping from Feedwater
Heater
6B.
While initial corrective actions
were viewed
as prompt
and
appropriate, it was noted that engineering
had communicated
to operations
the
importance of minimizing time in hot standby to mitigate the potential for
thermal stratification conditions.
We suggest
that you review this matter
95052b0045
950522
ADOCK 050003III7
8
Washington Public
Power Supply
System
related to your operations
to assess
the potential
challenge this presents
to
operators
during plant startup or shutdown, particularly with regard to
feedwater control.
In addition,
you identified that measuring
and test equipment deficiency
reports
were not properly dispositioned.
Your investigation of this matter
identified that
a low level individual willfullyviolated approved
procedures.
This violation appeared
to be
an isolated action
and your actions to correct
this problem were timely and appropriate.
In accordance
with
Section VII.B.(2) of 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C,
"General
Statement of Policy
and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," this violation was not cited.
You are required to respond
to this letter- 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.
Your response
may reference
or
include previous docketed
correspondence, if the correspondence
adequately
addresses
the required
response.
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) of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter
and its enclosures will be placed
in the
NRC Public Document
Room
(PDR).
To the extent possible,
your response
should not include any
personal
privacy, proprietary,
or safeguards
information so that it can
be
placed in the
PDR without redaction.
However, if you find it necessary
to
include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information
that you desire not to be placed
in the
PDR and provide the legal
basis to
support your request for withholding the information from the public.
The responses
directed
by this letter
and the enclosed
Notice are not subject
to the clearance
procedures
of the Office of Management
and Budget
as required
by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980,
Pub.
L. No. 96.511.
Should you have
any questions
concerning this inspection,
we will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
