Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection 50-322/85-22

A special inspection was conducted by Mr. E. M. Kelly of this cffice during

the period April 10 - May 10, 1985, regarding allegations provided by a private

citizen to the New York State Consumer Protection Board which were, in turn,

presented to the NRC in a March 12, 1985 letter.

The allegations involve the

calibration of certain instrumentation and controls, as well as the training

and qualification of instrumentation technicians and supervisors. These were

characterized as 15 separate concerns by NRC Region I, and are listed in the

attachment to this report which was provided to you during this inspection.

The preliminary findings of this inspection are that two of the alleged con-

ditions, while restricted to non-safety related systems and equipment, were

substantiated.

These allegations were related to pressure switches in the

i

reheat steam system and level switches in radwaste laundry tanks. The

~

allegations involving tapping of indicators during calibration and a HPCI low

pressure switch were substantiated in part and require evaluation by your I&C

2

staff. Three of the allegations are issues previously identified and reported

to the NRC by your staff, and are either resolved or being followed as separate

NRC inspection items. Three of the allegations addressed the qualifications

and experience of unspecified technicians and supervisors involved in initial

instrumentation calibrations and surveillance; these were found to be unsub-

stantiated. Finally, a number of the allegations could not be assessed by

our initial inspection due to a lack of specific information.

For those allegations that were substantiated, we would like you to respond as

to their extent (i.e. isolated cases versus broader implications) and your

analysis of their root cause and any corrective action you may propose or have

previously applied towards preventing those types of errors from occurring in

otner systems. We would also like you to respond to us regarding evaluation of

calibration procedure SP 46.030.01 for possible incorporation of a procedurally

required downscale tap and the nominal set point and accuracy, as well as pro-

cedural verification of impulse line venting, for HpCI low suction pressure

switch PS-0216.
