Docket No. 50-387
Pennsylvania Power & Light Company
ATTN: Mr. Bruce D. Kenyon
Vice-President
Nuclear Operations
2 North Ninth Street
Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101
Gentlemen:
Subject: Inspection No. 50-387/83-20
This refers to the July 26 - 29, 1983 special safety inspection of Susquehanna
Unit 1 at Salem Township, Pennsylvania, by Mr. G. Rhoads of this office.
This inspection report highlights a problem that warrants your personal atten-
tion.
Specifically, one train of particulate and gaseous containment atmos-
phere monitors was inoperable for an extended period, the other train was not
surveiled for operability, and grab samples were not taken for backup analysis.
Because the unsurveiled radiation monitoring train proved operable when
finally checked, our primary concern is that this is another example of
repeated failure to perform Technical Specification required surveillances.
As discussed with Mr. H. Keiser of your staff on August 16, 1983, we have
scheduled an onsite meeting with you at 8:30 a.m., August 30, 1983, to discuss
our concerns further. At that time, please be prepared to discuss in detail
your actions to prevent the recurrence of failures to perform surveillances
required by your Technical Specifications.
No response to this letter is required. We are considering this matter for
appropriate enforcement action and will address such action under separate
correspondence at a later date.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and enclosure will
be placed in the NRC Public Document Roo'n, unless you telephone this office
within 10 days of the date of this letter and submit written application to
withhold information contained therein within 30 days of the date of this
letter. Such application must comply with 2.790(b)(1). The telephone notifica-
tion of your intent to request withholding, or any request for an extension of
the 10-day period, should be made to the Supervisor, Files, Mail and Records,
USNRC Region I, at (215) 337-5223.
