Gentlemen:
Subject: NRC Region i Inspection Report No. 50-271/90-10
j
This refers to the routine NRC safety inspection conducted on August 13 - October 9,1990, at
j
the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Vernon, Vermont. The results of the inspection
i
were discrissed with Mr. D. Reid at the conclusion of the inspection,
g
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activities associated with
the Tuci Pool Cooling System were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,
j
as set forth in the Notice of Violation enclosed as Appendix A. These violations have been -
l
categorized by severity level in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure
l
for NRC Enforcement Actions."
l
-In addition, a deviation from your May 3,1985 commitment to maintain' operable equipment
,
(which is addressed by the Vermont Yankee Environmental Quali0 cation Program) was -
j
. identined. This deviation is described in Appendix B.
'
During our evaluation of these issues, two weaknesses were identified. First, operators and some
l
' key l supervisors were not fully aware of the administrative requirements of a. management
!
directive and the fuel pool cooling system operating procedure. Second, the independent review
. of plant equipment tagouts needed strengthening. You are required to respond to this letter and,
in so doing you should follow the instructions in Appendices A and B. In your response, please
!
address these two concerns stated above.
j
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,
