Dear Mr. Smith:
,
SUBIECT: INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-277/93-18 AND 50-278/93-18
i
f
This letter refers to an announced safety inspection of the engineering and technical support
4
activities related to Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 conducted by .
Mr. A. Lohmeier of this office during the period ~ August 2-6,1993, at Delta, Pennsylvania.
i
A discussion of his findings was held with Mr. Miller and his staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
'
Areas examined during the inspection described in the NRC Region 1 Inspection Report
'
enclosed with this letter include an assessment of changes in the engineering and technical
support organization through implementation of the NEEDS reorganization program. Also
examined during the inspection was the retention 'of the operational cycle data for
j
components designed to sustain limited numbers of cycles over the lifetime of the plant in
!
l
accordance with the administrative requirements of the technical specification. Continuing
l
evaluation of the effect _of these cycles on the operating equipment is essential to the safe
operation of the plant and protection of the public health and safety.
i
!
j
In review of your monitoring of the effect of operational cycles on equipment designed for
limited numbers of cycles, primarily the reactor coolant system, it was found that the data
_ ;
L
with which to compare actual cycles to design cycles was not kept current. However, the.
.{
inspector noted that a program _is under-way to retrieve such data.~ PBAPS is past mid-life,
l
and it becomes necessary to monitor closely the critical component parts for the possibility of
j
exhaustion of fatigue life of the material, thereby protecting the public health.and safety.

.
Your staff has agreed to provide NRC, within 60 days, a schedule of your upgrading of the
operational cycle monitoring program as described in Section 3.1 of this report. Completion
l
of this program will allow resolution of a longstanding unresolved item, UNR 90-14-02.
As a result of this inspection, no deviations or violations were noted.
Sincerely,
