SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/96-12

Dear Mr. Parrish:

An NRC inspection was conducted June 23 through August 3, 1996, at your Washington

Nuclear Project-2 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of

that inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at

the Washington Nuclear Project-2 facility was generally characterized

by safety-conscious

operations.

The inspection identified a narrowly focused assessment

of a reactor scram

and a poor questioning attitute and safety focus with respect to testing of the digital

feedwater system.

Collectively, these observations indicated that the effectiveness of

management

oversight of plant operations may have declined.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of this letter

and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

Pzdk[ev

J. E. Dyer, Director

Division of Reactor Projects
