SUBJECT:

TURKEY POINT OPERATIONAL READINESS ASSESSMENT

TEAM INSPECTION

REPORT

NOS. 50-250/91-38

AND 50-251/91-38

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(NRC) inspection

conducted

by

Mr.

T.

A.

Peebles

and

other

NRC

personnel

on

September

9-13,

1991.

. The

inspection

included

a review of activities

authorized

for your Turkey Point

facility. At the conclusion of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

with

those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed

report.

The inspection effort involved examination of selected activities in the areas

of management of outage activities, configuration control management,

operations,

Technical Specification adherence,

security,

engineering

and technical

support.

Within

these

areas,

the

inspection

consisted

of selected

examinations

of

installed equipment, review and wal'kdown of procedures,

interviews with personnel

and observation of activities in progress.

The team determined that the outage

was accomplished

in a quality manner,

and the

plant

was staffed

by competent

personnel

who were capable

of starting-up

and

operating the plant safely.

However, the team identified that one design

cha'nge

was not properly

implemented

such that the back-up cooling water flow to the

charging

pumps would not have functioned.

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).

In particular, the design process

used for the modification

that you made to provide

an alternate

source of cooling water to the charging

pumps'ydraulic

couplers

was

not effective

because it did not

assure

that

calculations,

tests

or procedural

requirements

were

developed

to demonstrate

adequate

cooling flow.

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.

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 requirements.
