SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-301/96014(DRS)

Dear Mr. Patulski:

On January 9,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Point Beach Nuclear Plant,

Unit 2. The focus of this inspection was your steam generator replacement (SGRP)

activities. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed report. l

During this inspection, inspectors noted a relatively large number of engineering and

quality assurance hold points throughout the SGRP work packages, which indimed a good

preplanned oversight effort for the SGRP activities. However, misalignments of

connecting feedwater and mainsteam piping, which required emergent system

modifications to correct, indicated that engineering staff preplanning efforts associated

with steam generator installation alignments were not fully affective. Overall, the  ;

inspectors concluded that the welding and nondestructive examinations activities observed

associated with the steam generator replacement met tha American Society of Mechanical

Engineers Code requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter

and the enc losed inspection report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

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

Sincerely,

/s/ J. A. Grobe

John A. Grobe, Deputy Director j
