SUBJECT:

INSPECTION NOS. 50-335/86-08;

50-389/86-07

Enclosed is the report of the

team inspection

conducted

by Mr. G. T. Hubbard

and other

NRC representatives

on March 31 - April 4, 1986, at the St. Lucie

Nuclear Site of activities authorized

by

NRC License

DPR-67

and NFP-16.

The

team's findings were discussed

with you and

members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

The inspection

reviewed your implementation of

a program as required

by 10 CFR 50.49 for establishing

and maintaining the

qualification of electric equipment within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49.

within

these

areas,

the inspection consisted of examinations of selected

procedures

and records,

interviews with personnel,

and observations

by the inspectors.

The inspection

determined

that you have

implemented

a program to meet

the

requirments of 10 CFR 50.49 except for certain deficiencies identified in the

enclosed

inspection report.

Seven of the deficiencies,

summarized

in Appendix A,

are classified

as Potential

Enforcement/Unresolved

Items (PE/UIs)

and will be

referred to the

NRC Region II Office for further action.

One deficiency involves

failure to establish qualification for internal wiring in Limitorque operators.

Another PE/UI deals with failure to have auditable

documentation

to support

equipment qualification.

The remaining five PE/UIs resulted

from failure to

provide adequate

documentation

to support qualification of specific components.

Adequate

documentation

to support qualification for these five components

was

provided

by the end of the inspection,

except for the PE/UI dealing with General

.cable.

Nine additional

concerns

are classified

as

Open Item, and

a future

NRC inspection

will review your actions

concerning

them.

Details of the deficiencies

and con-

cerns

are discussed

in the inspection report.

It is understood

from a telephone

conversation

between your Hr.

G.

Regal

and

Nr. U. Potapovs,

IE, during the week of April 14,

1986 that the following had

been accomplished

at St. Lucie.

Unqualified ITT-TFF wire in valve operator

1-MV-09-9 was replaced

with qualified wiring the day the inspection

ended.

An operability analysis relative to unqualified wires in Limitorque

valve operators

in Unit

1 was in place the morning of April 7, 1986.

Documentation

to support qualification of General

cable

was in place

the morning of April 7, 1986.

Schedules

were established

to address

other deficiencies

and concerns

identified during the inspection.

Review of the activities

described

above indicates that your corrective actions

on the deficiencies

and concerns identified during the inspection

are in progress;

however,

you should continue to pursue your corrective actions

and not delay

them pending either

a future

NRC inspection or further action by the

NRC Region

II Office.

h'e are available

to discuss

any questions

you have concerning this inspection.
