Gentlemen:
This letter forwards the report of the maintenance team inspection (MTI) and
!.
activities authorized by NRC Operating Licenses NPF-76 and NPF-80 for the South
!
Texas Project, Units 1 and 2.
This inspection was performed by members of our
staff from January 9 through March 9, 1990.
The MTI team leader and Region IV
3
management representatives disr:ussed the findings with you and other members of
yoLr staff at the conclusion of the inspection on March 9, 1990.
This MT) was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of maintenance activities
at the South Texas Project.
The inspectors coricluded that you have developed a
,
'
generally effective maintenance program, that is being implemented by your
dedicated staff to maintain the plant in good operating condition. The team
was concerned with your prioritization of preventive maintenance on components
critical to plant safety, which is apparently the result of a high level 07
maintenance backlog and insufficient resources. Although the maintenance
program was found to be extensively procedura11 zed, there appeared to be lapses
in the-proper implementation of some maintenance support procedures.
The
results of the inspection are documented in the enclosed inspection report.
The findings are summarized in the Executive Summary to the report which
includes a itsting of the strengths and weaknesses identified by the team.
