Subject: Inspecthn 50-334/81-25
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. D. A. Beckman of this
office on September 8 - October 13, 1981 at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Shipping-
port, Pennsylvania of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-66 and to the dis-
cussions of our findings held by Mr. Beckman with Mr. H. Williams and other members
of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspection and
Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas,
the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, measurements made by the inspector, and observa-
tions by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activities
were not conducted in full compliance with flRC requirements, as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These items of noncompliance
have been categorized into the levels described in the Federal Register Notice (45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980. You are required to respond to this letter and in
preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
With respect to Appendix A, we note that you have corrected Item No.
E., and there-
fore you need not address yourself to this matter in your response.
Item E. described in the enclosed Hotice of Violation is classified as a Severity
Level III violation in recordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy. As stated
in Section IV.B of this policy, monetary civil penalties are normally assessed for
Severity Level III violations. After careful consideration of this specific viola-
tion, we have determined that a civil penalty is not appropriate. This determina-
tion was based on the fact that (1) the surveillance scheduling system was promptly
strengthened, (2) a tagging system was implemented to prevent untested components
from being returned to service prior to demonstrating operability, and (3) you
reported this event as required. We also note that the surveillance test conducted
after discovery of this event reconfinned operability.
In accordance with Section 2.790(d) of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2. Title
10, code of Federal Regulations, documentation of findings of your control and
accor-+ggggygggegfogafeguarding special nuclear materials and your facility
