SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/96-14 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
j
Dear Mr. Dugger:
An NRC inspection was conducted December 1,1996 through January 11,1997, at your
Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the
scope and results of that inspection.
,
l
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at
l
.
Waterford was generally characterized by good performance of operations, maintenance,
'
engineering, and plant support. However, two violations of NRC requirements were
identified.
i
l
The first violation involves an inadequate procedure for the calibration of the hydrogen
analyzers. We are concerned that the identified discrepancies indicated a lack of rigor
i
during the development of the procedure in tnat a number of the vendor recommended
tests were not being performed. The second violation is of concern because procedures
.
were not followed regarding reporting of security lighting deficiencies. In addition,
although not a violation, inspectors had to intervene in a safety-related welding activity to
prevent a procedural violation. We are concerned that these incidents indicate a continuing
1
problem with procedural compliance among your station personnel.
.
.
.
-
An unresolved item was identified that involves apparently inadequate corrective actions
for water hammer events that occurred in tha low pressure safety injection system on
November 19 and 21,1996. We will conduct additional reviews of this issue in the near
future.
The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances
surrounding the violations are described in detail in the enclosed aport. 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 requirements.
i
i
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter,
i
'
!
its enclosure (s), and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room
l
(PDR). To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy,
