Docket No. 50-293
Boston Edison Company M/C Nuclear
ATTN:
Mr. William D. Harrington
Senior Vice President, Nuclear
800 Boylston Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02199
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-293/85-26
This refers to the routine safety inspection (50-293/85-26) conducted by Dr. M.
McBride of this office on August 20, 1985 to September 23, 1985 at the Pilgrim
Nuclear Power Station, Plymouth, Massachusetts, of activities authorized by NRC
License No. DPR-35 and to the discussions of our findings held by Dr. M. McBride
with Mr. C. Mathis and other members of your staff periodically during the inspec-
tion and at the conclusion of the inspection.
.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region i Inspection
Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection
consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, in-
terviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities
related to approval of licensed reactor operator overtime was not conducted in full
compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed
herewith as Append'< A.
The violation has been categorized by severity level in
accordance with *.ie revised NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published
in the Federal Register Notice (49 FR 8503) dated March 8, 1984.
You are required
to respond to this notice and in preparing your response, you should follow the
instructions in Appendix A.
In addition, we are concerned that corrective actions were not promptly taken in
response to a degraded bl h radiation area door lock.
Three Radiological Occur-
0
rence Reports (ROR's) identified this problem over a five-month period.
The lack
of response to these ROR's indicates that a weakness exists in your ROR program.
We understand that your staff plans to modify the pro 0 ram, highlighting potentially
significant ROR's that need prompt corrective action.
We will review your correc-
tive actions during a future inspection.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not subject
to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Oudget as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
