Inspection

Nos. 50-387/86-24

~50=388/86-2~6

(10/15/86

and 12/01/86)

This routine inspection of the Susquehanna

Steam Electric Station covered

plant operations,

surveillance,

maintenance,

open

items followup, Unit 2 First

Refueling Outage Activities, allegation followup, and licensee

events.

The

inspection

focused

on Unit 2 refueling outage activities and followup of

events.

No violations were identified.

During this report period,

three

events involving waterhammers

occurred

in

plant systems;

two of which resulted in hanger

damage.

Management attention

should

be focused

on determining

the root cause of these

events

on

establishing

and implementing effective measures

to prevent their recurrence.

Our review of these

events

found that all occurred during non-routine

evolutions not specifically covered

by detailed plant procedures.

Additional

operator training to increase

the sensitivity to waterhammer

events

and

methods of prevention

appears

warranted.

Your cooperati'on with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,
