Dear Mr. Boulette:

SUBJECT: PILGRIM INSPECTION 93-15

This refers to the safety inspection conducted by Messrs. J. Macdonald, A. Cerne, and D. Kern, ,

of this office on August 17 - September 27, 1993 at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station,

Plymouth, Massachusetts. Areas relevant to the health and safety of the public examined during

this inspection are described in the enclosed report. Our findings were based upon observations

of performance and independent evaluations of safety systems and quality records. The

preliminary results have been discussed with Mr. J. Kamya and other members of your staff at

the conclusion of the inspection.

Our inspectors observed excellent work coordination during plant shutdowns on August 22 and

'

31. The decision to take the plant off line to complete safeguards bus repairs, in light of

Hurricane Emily, reflected sound safety judgement. Control room staff demonstrated strong

command and control following the weather related reactor trip on September 10, during which

the effectiveness of recent training concerning reactor vessel pressure / temperature monitoring

during cooldown was evident. Your multi-disciplinary team efforts to successfully resolve -

recurring recirculation pump trips were indicative of your ability to methodically address

difficult component performance issues.

No replv to this report is necessary, and your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Original Signed By:
