Dear Mr. Kingsley:

SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

NRC INSPECTION

REPORT

NOS. 50-259/89-10,

50-260/89-10

AND

50-296/89"10

This

refers

to

the

Nuclear

Regulatory

Commission

(NRC)

special

reactive

inspection

conducted

by

W.

C.

Bearden

on

February

20 - March 22,

1989.

The

purpose

of this inspection

was to evaluate

the conditions

which led to your

identification that the discharge

flow path for portions of the safety-related

Emergency

Equipment Cooling Water System were not properly designed

as Seismic

Class I.

At the conclusion. of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

on

March 22,

1989, 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.

The inspection

findings indicate that certain activities

appeared

to violate

NRC requirements.

The violations,

references

to pertinent

requirements,

and

elements

to be included in your response

are described

in the

enclosed

Notice

of Violation.

As discussed

in the inspection

report

we are

concerned

about

the

number of

problems that have

been identified with your

system for identifying and correc-

ting conditions

adverse

to quality.

We

are especially

concerned

that your

commitments

to strengthen this area,

made in response

to

NRC Order

EA 85-49,

do

not appear tc have

been effectively implemented.

In light of this,

we request

a

mangement

meeting with you in which we request that you be prepared

to discuss

your perception of these

problems

and any steps that you are taking or plan to

take to improve this area.
