Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region 1

The enclosed inspection report (Sections 3.6, 5.1.2, 5.1.3, and 6.2) discusses
two events involving check valve failures in safety-related applications on

aware of your initiatives to upgrade precedures related to check valves.
Please let us know within 60 days from receipt of this letter of your plans and
schedules regarding improvements of check valve performance.
On November 8 and December 4, 1989, the resident inspector presented
various concerns (See Appendix A of the enclosure) from employees at
Millstone station to your staff for resolution. Further review of your
actions to address employees concerns will be included in subsequent
routine inspections.
