Subject:
NRC; Inspection of Rancho Seco
This~ refers to the routine. inspection conducted by Messrs. A. D'Angelo,
i
-
',
C. Myers, P. Qualls and Ms. G. Good of this office on September 9 through
1989 of activities. authorized by NRC License No. OPR-54, and to
.0ctober 20, ion of.our findings held with Mr. Keuter and other members of your
.
- the discuss
staff.at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this ins)ection are described in the enclosed inspection
report.- Within these areas, tie' inspection consisted of selective
examinations of 3rocedures and representative records, interviews with
'
personnel, 'and caservations by the -inspectors.
Based ~on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
1
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC recuirements, as set
forth in.the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appencix A.
The
violations ~ pertain to your failure to follow your existing procedures for
'maintenan'ce and modifications of plant configurations involving the auxiliary
-fuel handling bridge.
We are concerned that this weakness is similar to a
violation identified in late 1988,- as documented in report 50-312/88-23.
. Additionally, two issues arose which deserve your continuing attention.
At
ithe beginning'of the inspection period, the preventive maintenance being
performed on plant equipment no longer in service appeared to be minimal.
At
the'close of the inspection period, the inspectors noted that preventive
maintenance activities had significantly increased.
In that you have
committed to the NRC to maintain all plant equipment pending the approval of a
decommissioning plan, you should ensure that equipment in a lay-up status
continues to be_ appropriately maintained.
With regard to the continuing fulfillment of commitments made prior to the
June 1989 facility shutdown, we understand that you are reviewing those
commitments and will document for NRC review the commitments'you conclude
remain valid considering the current alant status.
In the interim, you should
consider your commitments to ensure tiose that remain applicable are completed
in a timely manner.
Additionally, you are encouraged to carefully review your
staffing needs as manpower reductions are made, to ensure that required
programs will remain adequately implemented.
