Gentlemen:
!
This refers to the special team inspection conducted by Messrs. A. T. Howell,-
i
D. L. Kelley, D. N. Graves, and R. B. Vickrey during the period July 31 through-
August 7, 1990, of activities authorized by NRC Facility Operating _
License NPF-87 and NRC Construction Permit CPPR-127 for the Comanche Peak Steam
Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, and to the discussion of our findings with you
and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
~
i
This inspection was conducted to review the circumstances following a. safety
,
injection event at Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES), Unit 1, on
'
July 30,1990.
1
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during the
inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspectors.
During this inspection, it was found-that certain of your activities were in
1
violation of NRC requirements. This violation would normally be considered as
noncited per 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, criteria; however, although your staff
identified the violation and promptly corrected it, this violation was
potentially more significant because the operability of all four atmospheric
relief valves could have been affected by the presence of water from isolated
main steam isolation valve (MSIV) upstream drippots.
Since action has already
_
been taken to correct the hot standby operating procedure inadequacies, no
'
response to this violation is required.
During this inspection, you committed in an Augus't 4, 1990, letter to NRC
Region IV (TXX-90283) to implement a design modification to remove the local
switches for the essential lights, as appropriate. We, thereby, request that
you provide, in writing, to NRC Region IV, a schedule for the implementation of
this design modification, as well as a description of any interim measures that
you deem appropriate to ensure that all essential lighting remains energized
until such time that the design modification can be implemented. We request
that you provide this information within 30 days of the date of this letter.
