Subject:
Review of Generic Letter 8913 Implementation, Vermont Yankee Servico Water Self Assessment l
By letter dated January 22,1990 (Reference (c)], Vermont Yankee provided a description of plans and programs that addressed the issues described in Generic Letter 89-13. We have recently completed a Self Assessment of our Service Water System, including a review of our program to meet Generic Letter 89-13 which identified that several aspects of our program do not fully meet-the intent of the i
Generic Letter.
Specific weaknesses include lack of formal procedures for testing of equipment, weak maintenance practices to ensure Service Water System components are properly
-i maintained, lack of technical evaluations to establish inspection and maintenance frequencies, and weak design reviews to ensure the Service Water System would operate properly under all design basis configurations.
