Gentlemen:
Subject: Inspection 50-289/85-24
During the period from October 11-18, 1985, members of the NRC TMI-1 Restart
Staff conducted routine and special safety inspections of operational activ-
ities at your facility. The results of these inspections are documented in the
enclosed inspection report. At the conclusion of the inspection Mr. R. Conte,
of my staff, summarized the inspection findings for you and other members of
your staff. The findings were generally favorable; however, one area requires
your prompt attention.
Your attention is specifically directed to paragraph 3.2.6 of the enclosed
report in which we describe our observation of a worker standing on the valve
operator for an open feedwater isolation valve.
Subsequent to this inspection
period, on October 19, 1985, we had a similar observation in the reactor
building on a decay heat removal system isolation valve. Such actions could
cause a plant transient and result in an unnecessary challenge to safety
systems and the operators. Based on our recurring observations, we believe
that .this is a potential attitude problem indicative of inadequate supervisory
oversight. This is similar to our finding in Inspection Report 50-289/85-22 on
the apparent violation of regulatory req'uirements for the storage of scaffolding
in safety-related areas. Collectively, we consider these observations to be
reflective of an adverse trend in your control of personnel working in safety-
related areas. Although no transient or adverse effect upon a safety-related
system resulted, we believe your immediate attention is required to reverse the
adverse trend in this area.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is' appreciated.
Since ely,
