This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. W. G. Rogers of
this office on Ndy 30 through November 1,1989 of activities at Fermi 2

our findings with Mr. W. S. Orser at the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during the
inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
During the inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice. A written response
is required.
l
The violations regarding the implementation of your 10 CFR 50.59 safety review
program are a matter of utmost concern to the NRC staff. The design of a
nuclear power plant is extremely complex; the approval of that design by the
NRC staff is granted only after a careful review.
10 CFR 50.59 provides you
with a mechanism to alter that design under specific conditions.
It is
therefore incumbent on you that changes to that design be properly identified
and subjected to a detailed evaluation. The examples contained in the attached
Notice of Violation indicate that these objectives are not being consistently
,
met and that changes have been made to your facility which had the potential to
raise the probability or increase the consequences of an accident.
In your response to the Notice of Violation, we request that you discuss not
only your corrective actions for each of the identified examples, but also
describe specific actions
CFR 50.59 review process. you intend to take' to strengthen and improve your 10
