SUBJECT:

NRC

INSPECTION

REPORT 50-397/95-15

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Nr.

R.

C. Barr,

and the inspectors

identified in this report, of this office on April 23 through June 3,

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

personnel

not adhering to requirements

to prevent fires Following grinding

operations.

NRC inspectors

continue to identify a large

number of operator

performance

issues

that principally stem from inattention to detail.

Clearance

order

and

tagging errors continue to persist.

Turnovers

and log keeping

are not of a

consistent

high quality, leading to weak performance

by operators.

Your

continued attention to these

issues

is warranted..

Our observation of the

damage to the high pressure

core spray diesel

generator

regulator indicated

inadequate

coordination

between

operations

and technical

personnel

and that system

knowledge

was weak.

In addition,

operators'esponse

to the incident did not appear to meet your expectations.

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.

In your response

to this violation,

please

address

the apparent

differences

between

our inspectors'indings

and

your followup of this issue.

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

9507i20039

950705

PDR

ADQCK 050003'P7

PDR

Washington

Public Power

Supply System

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,

Sincerely,
