Docket No. 50-293

Boston Edison Company

ATTN: Mr. Ralph G. Bird

Senior Vice President-Nuclear

Rocky Hill Road

Plymouth, Massachusetts 02360

Gentlemen:

.

Subject: NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-293/90-05

_

This refers to the routine safety inspection (50-293/90-05) conducted by Messrs.

J. Macdonald, A. Cerne, and Mrs. C Carpenter of this office on January 16 to

March 8, 1990 at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Plymouth, Massachusetts.

,

'

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspec-

tion Report which is enclosed with this letter.

i

It appears that one of your activities involving testing instrument line flow

[

check valves was not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements as set forth

in the enclosed Notice of Violation, Appendix A. You are required to respond to

this letter following the instructions in Appendix A.

In your response you

l

should address the apparent discrepancy in the manufacturer's flow test results

1

versus those specified in procurement documents; and the repetitive failures of.

your staff to address the Technical Specification Surveillance requirement.

Additionally, we have reviewed your February 26, 1990 reply to the Notice of

Violation enclosed with our letter dated .lanuary 19, 1990 regarding failure to

properly implement equipment tagout procedures.

The corrective actions stated

in your letter appropriately address this issue.

The long term effectiveness

of these actions will be evaluated during the current outage and during routine

inspections.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated,

i

Sincerely,

,
