SUBJECT:
NRC
INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/95-03
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Mr. C. J.
Paulk,
and those listed
in the enclosed
report. of this office on February
13 through March 14,
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 you and those
members of your staft identified in the
enclosed
report.
A subsequent
exit meeting
was conducted
by
Messrs.
E.
E. Collins,
C. J.
Paulk,
and myself on June 7.
1995.
by telephone
with you and members of your staff to discuss
the results of our evaluation of
information provided by you at the March 14.
1995. exit meeting.
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 purpose of the inspection
was to determine
whether activities authorized
by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance
with NRC requirements.
The team found that, in general.
engineering activities were performed in
accordance
with regulatory requirements.
The team observed,
however,
a lack
of a questioning attitude
on the part of your engineering staff and several
areas
requiring attention.
These
areas
included acceptance criteria for
testing, calculations,
and the relief valve program.
The resolutions to
problems that you identified often did not consider the generic aspects
of the
problem.
The team considered that, in general,
the engineering staff was
reacting to problems.
rather
than proactively identifying and resolving
problems.
Some performance
issues identified by the team had also been
identified by your self-assessment
activities but had not been fully
addressed.
Based
on the results of this inspections
certain licensed activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements.
as specified in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation (Notice).
Violation A is of'oncern
because it showed weakness
in
implementing procedure
requirements.
Violation B is of concern
because it
demonstrated
weak technical. support for the acceptance criteria of some
procedures.
Violation C is of concern
because it showed
a weak understanding
of pressure relief valves.

In addition, the failure to maintain
a current qualification package for
safety-related electrical
equipment in accordance
with 10 CFR 50.49(d)
was
identified as
a violation.
Also, the failure to address
the generic issue of
an erroneous
drawing revision was identified as
a violation.
These two
violations are not being cited because
the criteria in paragraph VII.B.(2) of
Appendix
C to 10 CFR Part 2 of the
NRC "Rules of Practice,"
were satisfied.
Unresolved
items were identified concerning the ability of the standby service
water system to perform its safety-related
functions under design basis
temperatures:
the ability of the automatic depressurization
system check
valves to maintain the accumulators
pressurized
in order for the automatic
depressurization
system relief valves to remain operable;
and, the ability of
safety-related
pressure relief valves to perform thei r design functions
without knowing the status of the adjustment rings.
These matters
are
discussed
in Sections
2. 1.2. 1. 2.2.3. 1,
and 2.2.3.2,
respectively, of the
enclosed
inspection report.
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 requi rements.
