SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT N05. 50-338/94-07 AND 50-339/94-07

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. R. McWhorter of this office on

March 20 through April 16, 1994. The inspection included a review of

activities authorized for your North Anna facility. At the conclusion of the

inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff

i

identified in the enclosed report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

Within the scope of the inspection, violations or deviations were not

i

identified.

The inspection identified a condition where an abnormal procedure called for

tripping the main turbine, but the turbine was not tripped due to personnel

safety considerations. We agree with your concern about personnel safety

considerations and this justified waiting to trip the turbine.

However, we

are concerned about the operators' command and control during the evolution,

,

and identify this concern as a weakness.

Consequently, this weakness is being

highlighted for your attention and resolution.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice", a copy of this

letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.

Sincerely,

()b aa< &)4
