Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-29/89-16
This refers to the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs.
L
H. Eichenholz, M. Markley, P. Drysdale and J. Trapp of this office on
.
t
August 1 - September 26, 1989 at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Rowe,
Massachusetts. The inspection consisted of observation of activities, inter-
views with personnel and document. reviews.
The results of the inspection are
l
described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report enclosed with this letter and
were discussed with Mr. T. Henderson of your staff at the conclusion of the
,
inspection.
t
We have reviewed the circumstances surrounding the inadvertent reactor trip
'
that occurred during the plant startup on August 29, 1989. A similar event
occurred in 1986.
It appears that your corrective actions for the previous
event were not effective in precluding recurrence of this type of an event.
Management attentior, is needed to ensure that your event evaluation is suf-
ficiently detailed to properly assess the' root cause of this occurrence, and
that appropriate corrective measures are instituted.
,
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Your cooperation wi'

is appreciated.
Sincerely,
