Docket No. 50-309

Mr. C. D. Frizzle

President

Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company

83 Edison Drive

Augusta, Maine 04336

Dear Mr. Frizzle:

SUBJECT: INSPECTION NO. 50-309/93-07

This transmits the March 23 through April 27,1993, inspection findings of Messrs.

C. Marschall and W. Olsen at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Plant, Wiscasset, Maine.

Those findings were based on observations of activities, interviews, and document reviews,

and have been discussed with Mr. Blackmore of your staff.

During the inspection, we noted safe plant operation and maintenance. Especially noteworthy

l

was the plant staff response to the increasing steam generator primary to secondary leak rate.

The root cause evaluation for the AK-25 circuit breaker problem was thorough and indicated

excellent engineering department investigation. However, inadequate post-maintenance

system turn-over resulted in isolation of tha steam generator blowdown system radiation

monitor. This violation of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual requirements will not be

subject to enforcement action because you identified and promptly corrected it and met the

other criteria of the enforcement policy in 10 CFR Fart 2, Appendix C,Section VII.B.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice", a copy of this letter and

its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Odgin! StacJ Dy;

James C. Linville, Chief
