Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-369/93-24 AND 50-370/93-24)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. G. F. Maxwell of this office on
October 17, 1993 - November 20, 1993. The inspection included a review of
activities authorized for your McGuire facility. At the conclusion of the
inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of examinations of selected procedures
!
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice). The violation is of concern because it is important that
adequate examinations of welds be performed to detect defects.
Because of an
inadequate examination of a Unit 1 Steam Generator tube plug , weld, a primary
to secondary leak occurred during startup on October 5, forcing the unit to
shutdown for repairs.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine if further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
>
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice (s) are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
