discussed with Mr. L. K. Miller of your staff.
resident safety inspection
January 31, 1989 to March
The findings were
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
You are
required to respond to this letter and in preparin~ your response, you should
follow the instructions in Appendix A and as delineated in this letter.
The first violation deals with three instances of procedural noncompliances
which resulted in safety system actuations during the report period.
In your
response, please describe any pertinent conditions such as plant status,
control room activities, or number of hours worked which may have contributed
to the errors.
Where such conditions are identified, please indicate the
actions you plan to take to eliminate those conditions.
The second violation involves your failure to correct or prevent recurrence of
self-identified material control nonconformances for over a three year period.
We are concerned that such nonconformances continued during this period
despite recurring quality assurance findings and implementation of escalation
procedures required by the Quality Assurance Program.
Consequently, in your
response to the violation please provide your evaluation of whether this
problem represents a breakdown of your Quality Assurance Program.
We are also
concerned that due to your failure to correct the identified problems, the
number of nonconformances identified, and the apparent lack of pre-issue
controls to verify the appropriateness of materials issued during this three
year period, nonconforming material could potentially have been installed in
safety-related systems.
Please address this concern in your response indicating
what steps you plan to take to determine whether nonconforming material has
been used in plant systems, and what you will do to prevent recurrence.
