Mr. John F. Opeka

lhecutive Vice President Nuclear

P.O. Ik1x 270

llartford, Connecticut 06141-0270

Dear Mr. Opeka:

SUllJECT: lladdam Neck inspection 92-21

This letter transmits the report of the resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs. W, --

Itaymond and P. Habighorst of this office during the period November 15,1992, to .

December 12, 1992, at the Haddam Neck Plant, lladdam Neck, Connecticut The report

covers activities authorired by NRC 1.icense No. DPR-61. This inspection was focused on

issues important to public health and safety. Prelimiriary findings were discussed with Mr. J.

Stetz of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

-During this report period, we found lladdam Neck was operated in a safe and conservative

manner,- Our inspection validated the adequacy of procedures to mitigate a station blackout

(Silo) event. In particular, we verified risk-significant manual operator actions could be -

performed within the times required. Also, we determined actions by plant staff to address

human engineering deficiencies will enhance the ability of the plant to cope _with the Silo

. event. Finally, we found the auxiliary operator training program was a notable strength and

the plant operators performed their__ emergency duties well.

During this inspection, we identified a failure to_ perform a required surveillance on the low

pressure safety injection system core deluge valve position Since the core deluge valves are'

'

routinely _ verified to be in the correct position as part of daily panel checks, the failure to -

document this fact had minimal safety significance. Also, since you initiated adequate

corrective actions to prevent recurrence, we exercised enforcement discretion for. this case in -

accordance with Section VII,B of the Enforcement-Policy,

We appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Oti@al SiTICd I4
