Gentlemen:
Subject: ROUTINE NOVEMBER 17 - DECEMBER 31. 1981 RESIDENT SAFETY INSPECTION
This transmits inspection findings by Messrs. C. J. Cowgill and A. R. Blough at
t
the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Delta, Pennsylvania. Those findings were
based on document reviews, interviews, measurements, and observation of activities,
and have been discussed with Mr. W. T. Ullrich of your staff.
,
,
An apparent Violation of your Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO's) is cited
in Appendix A and assigned Severity Level III in accordance with Federal Register
Notice 45FR66754 (October 7,1980). A reply is required and should be prepared
in accordance with Appendix A.
It is exempt from the Office of Management and
Budget's clearance procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96 .
511.
,
Section IV.B of 45FR66754 states that civil penalties are normally assessed for
i
Severity Level III Violations. .This LCO Violation involved operation of Unit 2
'
,
with the steam line temperature detecter setpoints higher than allowed at that
.
time. However, wN are not proposing a civil penalty in this instance for the
'
following reasant 'The potential impact on public health and safety, and the
environment was n.inimal and remote as evidenced by the following: the instru-
ments were continuously monitored; other means of detecting and isolating leaks
,
were operable; and, the temporary setpoint change was consistent with a subse-
j
quently approved technical specification change. Furthermore, the situation
was identified, corrected and reported promptly. However, similar violations
3
, rey result in civil penalties in the future.
'
,Eight LCO Violations have been cited at the Peach Bottom facility in 1981.
In
t
this specific event there was an apparent failure to discriminate between exist-
'
,
4
ing LC0's and proposed changes to them. Although there was no actual or high
4^
'
potential impact on the public'in 'this situation, it is indicative of a larger
'#
problem. Please give special consideration in your reply to correcting the
?K
repetitiveness of LCO Violations and to the steps you have taken or will take
X
to assure that operators are aware of the intent of LCO's and more knowledgeable
of their content.
