Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:

SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-443/93-14

This letter refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. Carrasco of this office on

September 13-17, 1993, at the Seabrook Station Facility. The inspector discussed the results

of the inspection with R. E. White and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the

inspection.

This inspection focused on activities important to public health and safety and was directed

towards engineering activities with emphasis on the adequacy of the design, installation, and

modification of safety related piping and pipe supports, including the snubber surveillance

4

program.

Details on the areas examined during the inspection are described in the NRC Region I

inspect:on report, which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection

consisted of selected examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with

personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed. However, it was brought

to our attention that on September 16, 1993, your staff identified that the snubber testing

software had not been recorded in a software index m required by Section 3.6 of the North

Atlantic Management Manual (NAMM) 18910. This administrative oversight did not

adversely affect the performance and/or control of the test equipment or the software.-

However, we expressed a concern regarding the control, verification and validation of

computer software utilized for tasks that are important to safety. Your staff acknowledged

this concern and indicated that you will take corrective actions to address this issue.
