SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION RFDORT 50-382/96-11 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Sellman:

An NRC inspection was conducted July 21 through August 31,1996, at your Waterford

Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and

results of that inspection.

~

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of operations,

maintenance, engineering, and plant support was generally good. However, there was one

violation of NRC requirements that was identified. The violation is'of concern because the

susceptibility of the auxiliary component cooling water (ACCW) system to a water hammer

had been addressed in a previous inspection report and the written instructions for an ,

l

instrument loop calibration activity were not adequate to prevent an inadvertent ACCW

pump start and system waterhammer.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violation are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that

you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice 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 requiremern ,

1

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

its enclosure (s), and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room

(PDR). To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy,

proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without

redaction.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

J. E. Dyer, Director

Division of Reactor Projects
