Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs.

T. A. Peebles and W. G. Rogers of this office on February 1 through April 29,

1983 of activities at Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station authorized by NRC

Operating License No. NPF-3 and to the discussion of our findings with

Mr. T. Murray 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 this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-

compliance with NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Appendix.

A written response is required.

With regard to Item 2 of the Notice of Violation, we would like to point out

that prior to returning equipment to normal operating status, the causes of

malfunctions should be promptly determined, evaluated and documented.

Failed

equipment should be analyzed to determine whether a replacement component of

describes an event where adequate and timely steps were not taken to analyze

a component failure. Therefore, in addition to your response to this item of

noncompliance, please provide a response to the questions contained in

Paragraph 6.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
