SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/97009 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Parrish:
An NRC inspection was conducted April 13 through May 24, 1997, at your Washington
Nuclear Project-2 (WNP-2) reactor facility. The'enclosed
report presents the scope and
results of that inspection.
During the inspection period, your conduct of licensed activities at WNP-2 was generally
characterized
by safety-conscious
operations
and maintenance
and good radiological
control practices.
One violation was identified during our review of Licensee Event
Report 94-04.
Specifically, it was concluded that Technical Specification action
requirements
were not followed when your staff determined that two main steam drain line
isolation valves were inoperable.
The recent engineering evaluation of past operability of
these valves was identified by the NRC to be weak in that all possible break locations had
not been considered
indicating a need for more thorough engineering
analyses.
In two instances we note that contractor control was inadequate
when work was
performed on an incorrect emergency diesel generator (although already out of service) and
a craftsman and a supervisor failed to understand
foreign material control provisions in
administrative procedures.
We noted past issues with the control and oversight of
contractors
in the adjustable speed drive work activities.
Your continued attention to
contractor oversight is encouraged.
The violation is cited in the enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances
surrounding this violation are described
in detail in the enclosed report.
The NRC has
concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions
taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence
are already adequately
addressed
on the docket in the enclosed
inspection report.
Therefore, you are not required
to respond to this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your
corrective actions or your position.
In that case, or if you choose to provide additional
information, you should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed
Notice.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of this letter,
its enclosures,
and your response
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.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
Thomas
