Dear Mr. Donnelly:
I
(
l
This refers to the routHe safety inspection conducted by Messrs. E. Plettner,
R. Iermon, and R. Twigg of this office fram July 16 through August 27, 1993.
l
The inspection included a review of activities-at the Big Rock. Point Nuclear
facility authorized by NRC Operating License No. OPR-6.
At the conclusion of
6
the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
,
identified in the enclosed report.
j
,
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.
Within
~
l
these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures
'
and representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel.
'
The results of this inspection indicated improvement of inside-containment
j
material c m'ition and cleanliness, reduction of outage dose through strong
i
adherence to the outage schedule and ALARA planning,. and improvement in the
!
use of shutdown-risk assessments. While the conduct of infrequent-activity
i
briefings for the core reload and head-off-critical. test were good, a similar
j
briefing for the primary plant hydrostatic test was poor, contributing to the
loss-of-control of primary pressure during the test.
Another example'of poor
coordination and oversight concerned the troubleshooting and repair activities
on the emergency and standby diesel generators.

,
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the-course of this
inspection.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room.
