Subject: NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-293/90-13

This refers to the routine safety inspection (50-293/90-13) conducted by Messrs.

J. Macdonald, A. Cerne, W. Olsen, Mrs. C. Carpenter, and Mr. A. Finkel of this

,

office on May 1 to June 11, 1990 at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Plymouth,

Massachusetts. Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC

Region ! Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter.

,

In Section 3.0 of the enclosed report, several initiatives of your plant staff

'

are described which are intended to provide improved controls over access to' i

radiation areas and reduced sources of radiation, thereby reducing personnel

radiation exposure. These actions are worthy of note and will be monitored for

effectiveness during future routine facility inspections.

I

During a review of maintenance and testing activities, the inspectors noted

repetitive failures of the diesel driven fire pump over the past eighteen -

"

months. These concerns are discussed in Section 4.0 of the enclosed report and

warrant increased manacement attention.

Your cooperation with us in these matters is appreciated.

Sincerely,-.
