SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-369/96-07 AND
50-370/96-07,' NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND NOTICE OF DEVIATION
Dear Mr. McMeekin:
On September 7,1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your McGuire 1 & 2
reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the six-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of
activities at the McGuire facilities was generally characterized by safety-conscious
operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and careful radiological
i
,
work controls. However, violations of NRC requirements were identified regarding (1)
the failure to perform technical specification surveillance requirements within the
required time period involving waste gas decay tanks and the emergency diesel
generator; (2) the failure to perform an adequate 50.59 safety evaluation prior to
conducting a test to confirm assumptions of the effects of steam voiding and high
temperatures on auxiliary feedwater piping; and (3) the failure to take adequate
corrective action to preclude a repetitive emergency diesel generator fuel line failure.
'
In addition, a Deviation was identified for failure to comply with responses to
commitments for Generic Letter 88-03, Steam Binding of Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps.
'
The Deviation involves the installation of the incorrect type resistance temperature
i
detectors resulting in non-conservative temperature readings of auxiliary feedwater
piping and also inadequate compensatory measures taken once the problem was
l
identified.
The Violations and Deviation are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and Notice
of Deviation (Notices), and the circumstances surrounding the issues are described in
detail in the enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this
letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notices when
preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine
whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory-
requirements.
