Subject:
Inspection 50-293/80-30
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. J. Johnson of this office
on Octtber 31-November 26, 1980 of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-
35 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. J. Johnson with Mr. R.
Machon 4:nd other members of your staff periodically during the inspection.
Areas exanined 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 records, interviews with personnel, and cbservations by the
inspector.
In addition, our inspector examined items 1 and 2 discussed in our letter to Mr.
J. E. Howard dcted October 31, 1980, regarding the inadvertent opening of 'A'
Safety Relief Valve on October 31, 1980.
This letter also confirms our under-
standing that the NRC will be provided a documented evaluation of system modi-
fications and testing, for our review and concurrence, prior to restoration of
the nitrogen system (to the drywell instrumentation) to service.
Within the scope of this inspection, no items of noncompliance were observed.
l
However, certain activities appear to be deviations from your corra.itments to the
l
NRC contained in letters dated August 21, 1979 and December 19, 1979 concerning
limitations on containment purge and vent operations, and from your commitment
to NRC contained in a letter dated October 15, 1980, concerning limiting working
hours for control room operators.
Both deviations represent apparent failures
on your part to incorporate commitments into plant procedures and instructions,
and to train plant personnel in fulfilling those commitments.
You are requested
to respond and comment on these items.
Please include a description of all actions
that have been or will be taken to correct the items and prevent recurrence, and
the date when these actions have been or will be completed.
In particular, your
response should describe those actions taken or planned by you to insure your
l
future commitments to NRC are promptly implemented.
