Docket No. 50-293
E. Thomas Boulette, PhD
Senior Vice President - Nuclear
Boston Edison Company
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station
Rocky Hill Road
Plymouth, Massachusetts 02360
Dear Dr. Boulette:
SUBJECT: NRC REGION I INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-293/93-11
This letter transmits the NN Region I inspection report for the routine, announced
inspection conducted by Mr. Ram Bhatia of this office the week of June 7-11,1993, at the
corporate office in Braintree, Massachusetts, and the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in
Plymouth, Massachusetts. Mr. Bhatia discussed the results of this inspection with you and
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The inspection was directed towards areas important to public health and safety. Areas
examined in this inspection included the resolution and corrective actions taken for open
items identified previously during the Electrical Distribution System Functional Inspection
(EDSFI). Within this scope, the inspection consisted of selective examination of design
records, system evaluations, drawings, procedures, and representative records and interviews
with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Corrective actions for six previously identified issues (one violation and five open items)
were found to be adequate and the items are closed. Our inspector noted that the root cause
analysis to determine the tripping concerns on the HPCI/RCIC inverters performed by your
staff was thorough and comprehensive. We also note that you have taken several additional
corrective measures to enhance the overall electrical distribution system functional
performance as identified in the EDSFI inspection report as observations. For example, you
have implemented a modification to improve the emergency diesel generators existing load
margin by adding a control scheme to trip nonessential loads automatically in the event of an
accident condition. Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were identified.
