Attention:
Mr. J. E. Cross
Vice President, Nuclear
Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRCInspectionoftheTrojanNuclearPlant
This refers to the inspection. conducted by Mr. R. C. Barr, Mr. J. F. Melfi and-
Mr. B. J. Olson of this office on September 2, 1990 through October 6, 1990 of
activities authorized by NRC License No. NPF-1, and to the discussion of our
findings held by Mr. Barr and Mr. Melfi with Mr.' Robinson and other members of
'
your staff periodically during the inspection.
Areas examined during this insaection are. described in the enclosed inspection
report. Within these areas, tie inspection consisted of selective
,
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
1
personnel and observations by the inspectors.
This inspection identified two Surveillance-Program weaknesses. .First, some
Trojan Surveillance procedures were found which did not always establish
appropriate acceptance criteria.
Second,' administrative controls do not
.
appear to provide a requirements that equipment conditional surveillances are
i
,
performed.
These deficiencies appear to have caused previous violations and
,
i
require your close attention to ensure these weaknesses tre resolved.
At the
October 15, 1990 exit, you committed, by November 1,1990, to evaluate a
long-term program for procedural upgrada of the technical content of
,'
L
surveillance procedures.
The Trojan Surveillance Program should be improved
in the near term so that PGE has full confidence that acceptance criteria are
)
accurate and that conditional surveillances are identified when required.
A
j
'
presentation by your staff on the Trojan Surveillanca Program improvements
'
should be planned for our next management meeting.
The one level V violation was issued to direct management attention to the
inservice testing (IST) program' commitments and requirements.
Although of
minor safety significance, some IST issues discussed in our report were
identified ir the 1985-1987 time frame and are still open.
Previous
correct.ive actions do not appear to have been fully effective. . Consequently,
we request that your response to our Notice of Violation also address how the
.IST related Design Change Packages and Requests for Evaluations are being
tracked and scheduled to ensure completion.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC regulations, as set
