Gentlemen:
Subject: Combined Inspection 50-354/80-21 and 50-355/80-21
,
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. W. H. Bateman of
this office on-December 1, 1980 to January 4, 1981 at Hope Creek Generating
Station, Units 1 and 2-in Hancock's Bridge, New Jersey of activities authorized
-by NRC License Nos. CPPR-120 and CPPR-121 and to the discussions of our findings
held by Mr. Bateman with Mr. A. E. Giardino of your staff at the conclusion of
the inspection.
Areas examined.during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspection
and. Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
>
and representative rnords, ia+v views with personnel, .and observations by the
inspector.
,
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities
was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
This item of noncompliance
has been categorized into the levels described in the Federal Register Notice
(45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.
.
Item I in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter is similar to items
identified during previous inspections of your licensed activities on Unit 1-and
documented in the enclosures to our letters dated November 18, 1980 and March
!
24, 1980.
Your letter to this office dated April 28, 1980 in response to our
l
letter of Marc'i 24. 1980 stated:
,

l

lSchneiderInshection' Plan.S520-1,?Rev.,0,"Surveillanceof' Housekeeping,
Material. Storage-and. Weld Wire Centrol," was' issued April:18,-1980.
This
' planLprovides for: weekly surveillance of storage areas for cleanliness,
-piping.end' caps.in place, use of dunnage, and adequate drainage. The plan'
.
,
..
- also provides forfweekly surveillance of work areas for_' environmental
-

"
s
. place. Surveillance reports will.be submitted to the Schneider QA Manager
~
for review."
l
,
,
(Your. letter'to this office dated January 5, 1981 in' response to our letter dated-
1
4
November 18, 1980 stated:
l
'"Schneider, Inc. has revi_ sed their procedure to provide more detailed
n'
housekeeping requirements. SI has reinstated the weekly (minimum) surveil-
lance.of the housekeeping activities. ' PDM will monitor the SI' surveillance
as part of overall increased surveillance. .Bechtel.will increase its sur--
'
veillance of its contractors and subcontractors."
'
From our December 1, 1980 to e nuary 4, 1981 inspection it appears that-the
~
,
stated corrective actions were not effective since this inspection resulted in a
,
second recurrent of a noncompliance involving housekeeping / cleanliness of piping
'-
,
in the suppression' chamber area. This and other related matters were discussed
!
,
in the management meeting held February 5,.1981 at the Region'I Office, which is
,
documented .in the enclosure to our letter dated February -26,1981.
Recurrent
and uncorrected items of noncompliance are given additional weight in the consid-
.
eration and selection of appropriate enforcement action.
Therefore,'in your
i
!
- response to this letter, you should give particular attention to those actions
!
~
i
taken or planned to ensure that identified items of noncompliance will be com-
plately corrected and will not recur.
!
!
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title
.
,
10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosures will
j
be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If this report contains any infor-
1
'
'
mation that you (or your contractor) believe to be proprietary, it is necessary
!
that you make a written application within .25 days to this office to withhold ~
'!
i
