!81-3 Misalignment of High Head Safety Injection Isolation Val ve.
Question:
Comment briefly on the significance of the two abnormal occurrences at nuclear power plants reported to the C6ngress on March 10, 1982.
Do these incidents raise more serious concerns with reactor safety at other plants?
Response
The NRC investigation concluded 'that the Beaver. Valley incident
- f-was a possible isolated act of sabotage rather than operator error.
In the wake of the event, Duquesne Light Company has modified and strengthened its procedures at Beaver Valley to assure that a similar act;does not occur in the future. Following.
an assessment of details r(lated to this incident the staff has m.
concluded that the licensee had in place a comb.ination of security' and safety programs and frdcedures which-assured prompt identifi--
cation and correction of; deficiencies.
Theprogramsandprocedures{
utilized at Beaver Valley are similar in scope _ to those at other sites.
These programs and procedures provide assurance that human or hardware failures will be. promptly identified and corrected,
~
thus, mitigating the impact of these failures on the safe operation -
