Docket No. 50-333

Mr. Harry P. Salmon, Jr.
Resident Manager
New York Power Authority
James A. FitzPatrick Power Plant
Post Office Box 41
Lycoming, New York 13093
SUBJECT:
NRC REGION I INSPECTION NO. 50-333/93-10
This refers to the results of the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs.
W. Cook and J. Tappert from April 18,1993 to May 22,1993 at the James A. FitzPatrick
Nuclear Power Plant, Scriba, New York. A summary of the inspection findings was
presented to you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was directed toward areas important to public health and safety. Areas
examined during the inspection are described in the NRC Region I inspection report, which
_
is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of observation of
activities, interviews with personnel, and document reviews.
Overall performance during this inspection period was good. We view your staff's response
to the intake structure ice blockage incidents to be thorough. During the post-trip review for
the April 20 reactor scram and as detailed in LER 93-09 issued at the end of this inspection
period, your staff identified inadequate logic testing of the high pressure coolant injection
pump discharge isolation valve and concerns with cool down and heat up rates in the reactor
vessel bottom head area during scram recovery. Our inspectors will examine these issues in
a subsequent inspection period.
Your May 14 self-identification of an inoperable smoke detector system in the East and West
cable tunnel led to a violation of Technical Specification 3.12.E.2. We note that your
corrective actions for this issue were prompt and comprehensive, the event was not of a
-
recurring nature, and that the actual safety significance of the event was minor. Therefore,
the Technical Specification violation is not being cited in accorc'ance with the provisions of
10 CFR 2, Appendix C, Section VII.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
