Attention: Mr. David Cockfield

Vice President, Nuclear

i

Gentlemen:

l

SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION OF THE TROJAN NUCLEAR PLANT

.

This letter refers to the routine inspection by Messrs. J. Burdoin and F. Gee

of this office on October 16-20, 1989, and additional document review in

i

the regional _ office during the week ending October 28, 1989, of activities

authorized by NRC License No. NPF-1. Findings were discussed with members of

'

your staff at the' conclusion of the inspection.

!

.

-

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection

!

report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with

,

personnel, and observations by the inspectors.

!

i

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that two 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.

!

This inspection identified a number of deficiencies.

In porticular, the

!

'following problems were noted in conjunction with review of engineering

calculations and emergency procedures associated with a loss of power to

the Service Water System during a fire:

j

'~

l

(1)- An important calculation assumption was based on inaccurate data.

(2) An independent licensee review of the calculation had raised questions

,

L

about the adequacy of the applicable emergency response procedure

which were not properly addressed.

.

1

(3) The applicable emergency response procedure was found to be deficient

'

in that it did not provide sufficient detail to enable plant operators

to perform the required actions.

,

The above noted deficiencies are indicative of weaknesses in the quality of

I

.

technical work being performed by PGE.

You should ensure that these

-

deficiencies are not programmatic in nature and take appropriate steps to

avoid similar deficiencies in other procedures and calculations.
