Dear Mr. Sieber:
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-334/93-01 AND 50-412/93-01
This letter transmits the repc:t of the resident safety inspection by Messrs. L. Rossbach and
P. Sena at the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pennsylvania. The reporting
period covers from January 26 to March 1,1993. The inspection consisted of document
reviews, interviews, and observation of activities important to public health and safety. The
findings were summarized and discussed with Messrs. D. Spoerry and G. Thomas and other
,
members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Overall, we found that the plants were operated safely and conservatively. Your staff's
,
pursuit of an industry experience repon associa'ed with an unanalyzed release path reflected
an excellent safety perspective. Operator action in response to plant transients, specifically
the Unit 2 safety injection, continues to be very good. However, an apparent violation was
identified for failing to follow procedures during a resin flush evolution. This contributed to
an inadvertent reduction in boron concentration for the Unit 1 IB boric acid tank, which was
.
'
less than one percent below specifications, but was promptly recognized and restored within
seven hours. Performance during this incident was not typical of the strong procedure
'
adherence and questioning attitude previously demonstrated by your staff.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice of Violation. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of
Pactice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document
Room.
