Docket No. 50-341
The Detroit Edison Company
ATTN: Mr. W. S. Orser
Senior Vice President
Nuclear Operations
6400 North Dixie Highway
Newport, MI 48166
Dear Mr. Orser:
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. W. J. Kropp,
K. Riemer, and R. Twigg of this office from January 19 through March 9, 1993.
The inspection included a review of activities at your Fermi 2 facility
At
the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.
Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures
and representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
4
of NRC reportability requirements of 10 CFR 50.72, as specified in the
enclosed Notice of Violation. A written response is required. The violation
is of concern because your staff used draft reportability guidance not yet
approved by the NRC staff in concluding an ESF actuation was not reportable.
In addition, another violation was identified that met the requirements of 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, Section Vll.B; therefore, a Notice of Violation will
not be issued.
Also, an Unresolved Item documented in paragraph 6.b of this report was is. sued
that pertained to recent failures of the High Pressure Coolant Injection
(HPCI) system during surveillances. These failures are of concern to the NRC
staff since the Fermi 2 Individual Plant Examination identified the HPCI
system as important in contributing to a low core damage frequency.
Your
staff is requested to identify in writing those actions that have been or will
be taken to improve the reliabi'ity of HPCI.
As agreed upon with your staff,
a written response is due May ?
1993.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter, the enclosed inspection report, and your response will be placed
in the NRC Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
