Docket No. 50-443

Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer

North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation

,

Post Office Box 300

Seabrook, New Hampshire 03874

Dear Mr. Feigenbaum

SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-443/93-21

This letter transmits the report of the safety inspection findings of the resident staff at

Seabrook Station for the period of November 9 through December 6,1993. The inspection

>

consisted of document reviews, personnel interviews, and observations of activities important

to the health and safety of the public. The inspector discussed the findings with Mr. W.

DiProfio and members of your staff after the inspection.

Overall, this inspection found that activities were conducted safely. Operators, chemists,

and engineers performed well in responding to a condenser tube leak and equipment failures.

However, your staff's failure to effectively identify and correct problems with a main steam

isolation valve and a temporary air compressor resulted in unplanned transients.

Thank you for your cooperation.

.

Sincerely,

Lawrence T. Doerflein, Chief

Projects Branch No. 4

Division of Reactor Projects
