Docket Nos. 50-334
50-412
Mr. J. D. Sieber
Senior Vice President
Nuclear Power Division
Duquesne Light Company
Post Office Box 4
Shippingport, Pennsylvania 15077
Dear Mr. Sieber:
SUBJECT:
NRC COMBINED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-334/93-11 AND
50-412/93-12
This refers to the announced safety inspection conducted by Mr. M. Buckley of this office
from May 17 to 21,1993, and May 25 to 28,1993, on site with additional information
provided between June 7 and July 13, 1993. The findings of the inspection of this additional
information was forwarded to your staff on July 13, 1993. The inspection included a review
of activities authorized for the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pennsylvania.
At the conclusion of the onsite inspection, the findings were discussed with Mr. D. Spoerry
and other members of your staff.
Areas examined during the inspection are discussed in the enclosed report. The purpose of
this inspection was to followup on your activities, concerning Generic Letter 89-10, to
determine that motor-operated valves (MOVs) are being maintained in a condition that
ensures they will perform their function during accident conditions. MOVs play an
important role in protecting the health and safety of the public by assuring reliable operation
of safety-related valves during design-basis accident conditions. The inspection consisted of
an examination of the MOV testing program and a review of previously identified MOV
issues.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violatiori
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation. A lack of test
control was evident in that ICH-MOV142 was overthrusted to the point where the stem was
bent, the anti-rotation device of 1FW-MOV151C was overtorqued during tests, and Nuclear
Engineering inaccurately dispositioning an administrative overthrust condition for 1CH-
MOV275C.
