Docket No. 50-286
Power Authority of the State of New York
Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 3
ATTN: Mr. J. C. Brons
Resident Manager
P. O. Box 215
Buchanan, New York 10511
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-286/82-09
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. R. Paolino of
this office on June 1-4, 1982 at the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station,
Unit 3, Buchanan, New York of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-64
and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Paolino with yourself and-
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection, and to subsequent
telephone discussions between Mr. D. A. Beckman and Mr. R. Paolino of this
office with Mr. J. Dube of your staff on June 8 and 9,1982.
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 inspectior., 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 violation has
been categorized by severity level in accordance with the NRC Enforcement
policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register Notice (47 FR 9987) dated March 9, 1982.
You are required to respond to this letter and in
preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
Another activity appears to be a Deviation from a commitment made in your
letter of August 15, 1980 (PASNY letter IPN 78-80) provided in response to NRC
staff requests in an NRC letter of May 21, 1979 and used as a basis for the
NRC Safety Evaluation Report issued with Amendment 24 to License DPR-64.
In
your letter, you stated that closed head, horizontal _ side-wall type fire
suppression sprinkler nozzles would be installed to protect certain safety
related cable trays. We have found, however, that you have not installed
nozzles of the specified type and that the radial pattern nozzles actually
installed may provide insufficient fire suppression.
In conjunction with your
response to Appendix A, please provide a written reply addressing this matter,
including the corrective and preventive steps you have taken or will take, the
date when corrective action will be completed, and the circumstances which
permitted this Deviation to occur.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Redu
