INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-400/94-05
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by J.
Tedrow of this office on
January
15 - February
18,
1994.
The inspection
included
a review of
activities authorized for your Harris facility.
At the conclusion of the
inspection,
the findings were discussed
with those
members of your staff
identified in the enclosed
inspection report.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are identified in the report.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted
of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observation of
activities in progress.
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 violations are of concern
because
they indicate
recurring problems with the conduct of filter backflushing evolutions
and your
ability to identify problems with the plant computer
system within a
reasonable
time.
In December
1991, the operators failed to implement
procedures
properly for the backflushing of the recycle evaporator feed'ilter
which resulted
in increased
airborne activity in the Waste Processing
Building.
A.non-cited violation
(NCV 400/91-27-02)
was issued for this
incident.
In August 1992, the operators failed to implement procedures
properly to backflush the seal
water return filter which resulted
in a
challenge to the system relief valve.
A Severity Level
IV violation was
issued for this incident
on September
17,
1992.
With regard to the recurring
problems with the plant computer system,
a similar failure occurred in January
1992 when operators failed to detect
an
ERFIS failure.
The
NRC expects
licensees
to learn from previous failures
and to take effective corrective
actions.
Therefore,
you are requested
to give particular attention to your
response
relative to the identification of the root cause of these
problems
and your corrective action to prevent recurrence.

In addition, the enclosed
Inspection
Report identifies activities that
violated
NRC requirements
that will not be subject to enforcement
action
because
the licensee's
efforts in identifying and/or correcting the violation
meet the criteria specified in Section VII.B. of the Enforcement Policy.
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.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
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 letter,
please
