Gentlemen:

Subject: NRC Region I Inspection 50-443/90-15 (6/25/90 - 7/29/90)

This refers to the above subject safety inspection of the Seabrook Station,

Seabrook, New Hampshire. The inspection results are described in the enclosed !

report and were discussed with Mr. D. M ndy and other members of your staff on ;

July 30, 1990. '

Overall, this inspection found that the plant was operated in a safe and pro- '

fetsional manner, especially during planned and unplanned transients. However, ;

breaker controls for containment electrical panels were found inadequate as

described in the enclosed Notice of Violation. In your response to this viola-

tion, please emphasize configuration control implications and also address the :

consideration that the operators indicated no awareness of the reason for the ,

controls over these electrical breakers.

Your Self-Assessment Team's report on power ascension testing (up to the fif ty

percent power level) demonstrated an ability to be self-critical, and the results ;

carresponded well with our assessments of your performance. We found this re-

port satisfactory, but noted that a lack of certain details to support the I

assessments and explain the genesis of the recommendations was a report weak- I

ness.

l

Thank you for your cooperation in these matters.

,

Sincerely,

ORIGINAL stGNED BY:
