Gentlemen:
Subject: NRC Region 1 Inspection 50-443/90-81
This refers to the Special Power Ascension Team inspection conducted between
March 16.and May 2, 1990, at Seabrook Station, Unit 1. Seabrook, New Hampshire.
The results of the inspection, as detailed in the enclosed inspection report,
were discussed with D. Moody and other members of your staff each week by our
inspectors.
As you know, several problems identified during the Power Ascension Test
Program, many in non-safety related systems, caused significant delays in your
power ascension test program. Consequently the program was at about-the
sixteenth day of your original schedule, with the reactor at about 8 percent
power prior to the shutdown on April 28, 1990 for a significant modification
of_the low pressure section of the turbine.
By the conclusion of this inspec-
tion period, we had witnessed the power ascension tests for the five percent
test plateau and the turbine testing.
Based on the tests witnessed, our insoectors concluded that the power ascension
tests, thus far, were performed in a safe and controlled manner by a knowledgeable
operations and startup staff. Also the inspection team concluded that the Power
t
Ascension Test Program at Seabrook Station was being conducted in accordance
with procedures and administrative requirements.
.

Sincerely,
