Subject:

Inspection No. 50-293/82-11

&'

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Dr. Jin W. Chung of

this office on February 25-28, 1982, at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1,

Plymouth, Massachusetts of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-35 and

to the discussions of our findings held by Dr. Chung with Mr. W. Armstrong and

other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection, and to a

subsequent telephone discussion between our Dr. Chung and Mr. S. Wallman of your

staff on March 2, 1982.

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

Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection

consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,

interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities

was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the

Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

This item of noncompliance

has been categorized into the levels described in the Federal Register Notice

(45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.

You are required to respond to this letter

and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

The Item in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter was identified

during a previous inspection of ycur licensed activities on May 4-8, 1980, and

was documented in the enclosure to our letter dated June 4, 1980.

Your letter

to this office dated July 15, 1980 stated that procedure 8.7.1.4 would be revised

to provide more specific direction and to specify actions to be taken by the

test director upon discoveries of leakage.

From our February 25-28, 1982 inspec-

tion it appears that the stated corrective actions were not effective since this

item has recurred.

Recurrent and uncorrected items of noncompliance are given additional weight in

the consideration and selection of appropriate enforcement action.

Therefore,

in your response to this letter, you should give particular attention to those

actions taken or planned to ensure that identified items of noncompliance will

be completely corrpcted and will not recur.
