SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-382/92-26 (NOTICE OF VIOLATION)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. E. J. Ford and Ms. J. L.
Dixon-Herrity of this office, on October 18 through November 28, 1992.
The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Waterford Steam
Electric Station, Unit 3, facility.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.
Within
those areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of the
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of-
Violation (Notice). We are concerned about the violation-because it indicates
a significant weakness in your consumable chemical control program.
The use
of an unapproved cleaner in the control room disabled several control
switches.
Fortuitously, this occurred while the unit was in cold shutdown
when the affected equipment was not required to be operable. Under different
plant conditions, there could have been a significant impact on safety-related
equipment required to mitigate accident scenarios.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing year response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory reouirements.
l
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of.
I
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the N1C Public Document- Room.
The response directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice is not
