Dear Mr. Link: i

This refers to.the inspection conducted by Mr. J. H. Neisler of this office on

August 16 and September 3-5, 1996, at the Point Beach Units 1 and 2 nuclear l

pl ants. At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspection results were j

discussed with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report. )

i

The inspection examined your activities relative to deficiencies identified by

your staff regarding physical separation of electrical wiring within the main

control boards. The areas examined included the operability determination,

circuit routing, short circuit analysis and planned corrective actions.

Activities in these areas appeared adequate; however, the determination that

separation of redundant circuits inside the control boards is a design basis

issue and not a licensing issue will require further review by the NRC.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of

this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,
