Subject:

NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-333/89-11

This ~1etter transmits the results of the routine inspection conducted by

Messrs. W. Schmidt and R. Plasse of this office on October 8,1989 through

+

December 2,:1989, at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power' Plant, Scriba, New

York. Mr. Plasse- discussed the inspection findings with you and other members

"

of your staff at.the conclusion of the inspection.

The inspector identified

no violations. You need not reply to this letter.

The causes for several events discussed it, the report concern us.

It appears

that personnel _ inattention to detail during surveillance testing caused the

reactor scram on November 5,1989, and the reactor core isolation cooling sys-

tem isolation on November 29, 1989. Further, we believe that actions taken by

,

you. to resolve previous difficulties should have prevented the poor high

,

pressure coolant . injection system tagout during system maintenance and the

'

difficulty experienced with the automatic depressurization system Technical

Specifications. We look forward to increased management attention and improved

performance in these areas.

We appreciate your cooperation.

,

Sincerely,

I
