Docket No. 50-213
Mr. John F. Opeka
Executive Vice President - Nuclear
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company

Hanford, Connecticut 06141-0270
Dear Mr. Opeka:
i
SUIUECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-213/93-19
'
!
This letter transmits the report of the resident safety inspection conducted by Mr. W.
Raymond of this office during the period October 3,1993, to November 6,1993, at the
Haddam Neck Plant, Haddam Neck, Connecticut. The report covers activities authorized by
3
NRC License No. DPR-61. This inspection focused on issues important to public health and
safety. Preliminary findings were discussed with Mr. J. Stetz of your staff at the conclusion
.j
of the inspection.
1
During this inspection period, we found Haddam Neck operated in a safe manner. Plant
l
personnel performed very well to complete the expedited installation of an alternate fire
'
water supply, and to inspect and repair the non-safety related fuel oil storage tank.
,
Maintenance provided good support to operations to provide timely actions to minimize the
'
out-of-service time for the oil tank and the fire pump. Engineering provided thorough safety
and technical evaluations in support of these activities. Overall, plant staff showed an
_
excellent regard for equipment important to plant safety, and demonstrated good teamwork to
!
address emergent operational issues.
-l
Our inspector also noted your actions this period to evaluate and report a historical condition
!
regarding the potential diversion of water from the demineralized water storage tank.
!
Engineering evaluations in 1993 discovered a potential single failure vulnerability that was
i
not discovered when this matter was first reviewed in 1989. Further, this condition was
reported late because of a weakness in the internal reportability guidelines. The reportability
weakness was discovered as the result of a 1993 initiative to improve the process for
i
evaluating deficiencies. In recognition of the identification of these issues by your staff, the
l
corrective actions, and the present staff initiatives to improve performance, enforcement -
'
discretion was exercised for these matters. We encourage your initiatives to improve
engineerm' g reviews of potential design deficiencies and to improve the reportability process.
