Gentlemen:
,
This refers to the inspection conducted by Dr. J. B. Nicholas and
Mr. L. Wilborn of this office during the period January 15-19, 1990, of
activities authorized by NRC Operating Licenses NPF-76 and NPF-80 for Units 1
and 2 of the South Texas Project, and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. M. A. McBurnett and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
-inspection on January.19, 1990.
Areas examined during the . inspection included the water chemistry and
radiochemistry programs, water chemistry and radiochemistry confirmatory
measurements, and certain aspects of the radioactive materials transportation
program. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination
of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
observations by the inspectors.
The inspection findings are documented in the
enclosed inspection report.
Within the scope of the inspection, no violat'ons or deviations were
identified.
The inspectors noted that the water chemistry and radiochemistry
programs ano the radioactive materials transportation program were being
implemented in an effective manner and in accordance with NRC requirements.
The inspectors also noted that the licensee's performance on the water
chemistry and radiochemistry confirmatory measurements was in very good
agreement and an improvement over the previous confirmatory measurements
results. The licensee performed extensive research in resolving the boron
analysis problem experienced during the inspection.
This demonstrated the
Chemical Operations and Analysis Division's ability and dedication to
=
excellence in the area of chemistry control.
The licensee had performed
comprehensive quality assurance audits and surveillances in the
chemistry / radiochemistry and radwaste management and transportation areas.
We have also examined actions you had taken with regard to a.previously
identified inspection finding. The status of this item is summarized in
I,.
