Docket No. 50-29

Mr. Jay K. Thayer

Vice President and

Manager of Operations

Yankee Atomic Electric Company

580 Main Street

Bolton, Massachusetts 01740-1398

Dear Mr. Thayer:

SUBJECT:

YANKEE ROWE INSPECTION REPORT 50-29/93-01

This refers to the safety inspection conducted by Messrs. B. Norris, N. Perry, and M. Fairtile

from January 25-28, 1993, at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Rowe, Massachusetts. The

inspectors focused their efforts on issues important to the health and safety of the public,

specifically since the issuance of the Possession Only License on August 5,1992, and based

their findings on observations of activities, interviews with personnel, and document reviews.

The results were discussed with Mr. N. St. Laurent, Plant Superintendent, and other members

of your staff.

Activities were generally found to be conducted safely, equipment was suitably maintained, and

safety analyses were comprehensive. The defueled Security and Emergency plans were found

to be appropriately translated into procedures, but some problems were identified with

administrative controls for your Certified Fuel Handler program. A non-cited violation was

identified concerning document control for the revised Technical Specifications, but enforcement

discretion was exercised because your corrective actions were prompt and comprehensive.

Finally, enforcement discretion was also exercised for two instances of missed Technical

Specification surveillances because of low safety significance, your corrective action, and they

are not applicable in the current plant configuration.

No reply to this letter is required, and your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Original Signed Br.

James C. Unville
