SUBJECT:
(NRC REGION I INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-333/93-04)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. W. Cook and J. Tappert of this office
from January 24,1993 to March 6,1993. The inspection included a review of activities
l
authorized for your James A. FitzPatrick facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with you and members of your staff.
s y
l
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
j
inspection consisted of observation of activities, interviews with personnel, and document
reviews. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by the
l
license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). During this
i
inspection period, we reviewed the actions and circumstances surrounding the operator
initiated scram of February 25,1993. While operator performance was generally acceptable,
the reactor mode switch was found out of the shutdown position after two procedurally
required verifications failed to identify it. We also noted that your post-trip review did not
identify this procedural noncompliance.
You are required to respond to this letter and
l
should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
l
enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your response, you should document the
~
specific actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
Additionally, we ask that you address those measures which you plan to take to strengthen
your post-trip review process. After reviewing your response to this Notice, including your
proposed corrective actions and the results of future inspections, the NRC will determine
whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC
regulatory requirements.
