Attention:
Mr. Ron Rodriguez
Assistant General Manager, Nuclear
Gentlemen:
Subject: NRC Inspection of Rancho Seco
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Messrs. J. H. Eckhardt,
G. P. Perez, J. L. Crews, A. J. D'Angelo, and H. J. Wong of this office
between June 23 and August 9,1985, of activities authorized by NRC License
No. DPR-54, and to the discussion of our findings held by inspectors with
Mr. P. Oubre' and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection
report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of our inspection, we believe that you failed to
implement adequate engineering and design controls, construction controls,
quality control inspections, and quality assurance oversight during
modifications to the reactor coolant high point vent system. These
inadequacies resulted in a leak in the one inch diameter B hot leg vent piping
with the plant in a hot shutdown condition. An enforcement conference has
been scheduled for September 6, 1985, in the NRC Region V office. At this
conference you should be prepared to discuss your evaluation of the cause of
the apparent violation discussed in the inspectic1 report; corrective actions
taken or planned; and your plans for improving oversight of these functions.
Enforcement actions relative to the-issues discussed in the enclosed report
will be the subject of separate correspondence.
