DEC 311979 Duquesne Light Company License No. 50P-3323 Beaver Valley Power Station Docket No.

55-5613 ATTH: Mr. A. W. Hartner P.O. Box 4 Shippingport, Pennsylvania 15077

Dear Mr. Hartner:

This letter relates to the findings of an inspection at the Beaver Valley Power Station which was conducted November 27 through December 8, 1979, by our Resident Inspector.

The inspection related principally to various maintenance activities occurring on November 27, 1979, which resulted in a portion of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) being unavailable for automatic start, if it had been needed, concurrent with a loss of offsite power.

Based on the results of this inspection it appears that you took an action which was not in full compliance with the requirements of your NRC Senior Operators License, 50P-3323.

The specific citation is contained in the enclosed Notice of Violation.

You are required to submit to this Office within twenty days of your receipt of this notice, a written statement in reply, including the reasons for the item of noncompliance and the action you plan to take to prevent recurrence of similar noncompliance (See 10 CFR 2.201).

Also enclosed for your infonnation is a copy of enforcement correspondence on this same matter which has been sent to Duquesne Light Company, and a copy of IE Infonnation Notice No. 79-20, Revision 1, entitled "NRC Enforcement Policy - NRC Licensed Indiv: duals." You should have received a copy of the Information Notice in September of this year.

This notice was intended to remind licensed individuals of their personal responsibilities for adherence to the conditions of their license.

Copies of this Action together with your response will be sent to (1) your employer, Duquesne Light Company, (2) the NRC's public document room in Washington, D.C.,

(3) the local public document room in Alquippa, Pennsylvania and (4) the NRC's Operator Licensing Branch.

If you have any questions about this action, you may discuss them with Mr. Boyce Grier in the Region I office (215-337-5000) or with me (301-492-7397).
