Docket No. 50-443

Mr. Ted C. Feigenbaum

Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer

North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation

Post Office Box 300

Seabrook, New Hampshire 03874

Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:

SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-443/93-10

This letter transmits the report of the safety inspection findings of the resident staff at

Seabrook Station for the period of May 11 duough June 14, 1993. The inspection consisted

of document reviews, personnel interviews, and observations of activities important to the

health and safety of the public. The inspector discussed the findings with Mr. W. DiProfio

,

and members of your staff after the inspection.

Overall, this inspection found that activities were conducted safely. Also, your independent

review team conducted a thorough review of the weaknesses in the corrective action program

and developed comprehensive recommendations. However, in contrast to generally good

performance by the station staff, the enclosed report documents several personnel errors that

collectively warrant your attention.

Your licensee event reports described violations for inadequate testing of reactor coolant

system temperature detectors. The violations were not cited based on the low safety

significance of the testing errors, and your identifying and correcting the inadequate test

methodology.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

OriPjd Ogned Dy

A. Randolph Blough, Chief

Projects Branch No. 4
