Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection Nos.'50-352/90-10 and 50-353/90-09:and Meeting No. 90-33

on Licensed Operator Requalification Program

.

This letter refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. T. Eas11ck

of this office from February 12, 1990, to March 2, 1990, at the Limerick Generating

Station, Units 1 and 2 in Sanatoga, Pennsylvania. The findings were discussed

-

with members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection-on March 2 and

"

March 15, 1990 at the Region I office.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

,

inspection report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the

inspection consisted of a review of the Limerick requalification examinations

administered from Jc. mary 15, 1990, to February 23, 1990 and a review of selected

Emergency Operating Procedures (T-200 series). Within the scope of this in-

spection no viola +1ons or deviations were observed.

.

Your attention is directed to paragraph 4 which identifies requalification

program weaknesses. This information is being provided to aid in up pading

the program.

No licensee response is necessary.

This letter also forwards the results of a management meeting held on March 15,

1990 at the Region I Office, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

The meeting was

i

conducted by myself with members of yove staff. The purpose of the meeting was

l

to discuss your root cause analysis anci proposed corrective actions as documented

'

in PECO letter dated March 9, 1990. The letter addressed the weaknesses-

identified as a result of an NRC administered operator requalification examina-

tions. On the-basis of the presentation during the meeting, the corrective

L

actions are acceptable. The results of the root cause analysis indicated that

although corrective actions were taken as a result of the November, 1988 NRC

administered requalification examination, in certain instances the actions were

l

ineffective.

The weaknesses identified during the January 1990 requalification

l

examination were attributed, in part, to insufficient management attention to

,

t

the requalification process.
