$UBJECT:
CONflRMATION OF ACTION LETTER On March 20, 1990, a Site Area Emergency was declared due to a loss of offsite power with a concurrent loss of onsite emergency diesel generator capability.
Because of the potential significance of this incident to public health and safety, the NRC's Executive Director for Operations has fomed an incident Investigation Team (!!T) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
This !!T will replace the Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) presently on site in an orderly transfer of team authority. Unit 1 was in cold shutdown at the time of the incident for refueling.
Unit 2 tripped from 100 percent power.
'c This letter confims the conversation on March 23, 1990, between R. P. Mcdonald and myself related to this incident. With regard to the matters discussed, we understand that you have agreed to cooperate with the !!T and you have taken or will promptly take the following actions necessary to support this investigation:
1.
Unit I will not be taken critical until the Regional Administrator is satis,fied that appropriate corrective action has been taken and the plant can safely return to operatic,n.
2.
Equipment involved in the incident may be quarantined by the !!T.
Personnel access to areas and equipment subject to this quarantine will be minimized, consistent with plant safety.
The licensee is responsible for quarantined equipment and can take action involving this equipment it deems necessary to:
(1) achieve or maintain safe plant conditions, (2) prevent further equipment degradation, or (3) test or inspect as required by the plant's Technical Specifications.

3.
All records or damaged equipment will be preserved intact that may be related to the event and any surrounding circumstances that could assist in understanding the event.

Reports of such investigation will be promptly provided to the llT.
Issuance of this confirmatory action letter does not preclude the issuance of an order fomalizing your comitments.
The above comitments may be relaxed for good cause.
If your understanding differs from that set forth above, please call me immediately.
