NPF-38 for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, and to the discussions of

our findings with Mr. R. P. Barkhurst and other members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included plant status, licensee event

report followup, monthly maintenance, monthly surveillance, ESF system

walkdown, routine inspection, license conditions, and wet mechanical draft

cooling tower water basin level. Within these areas, the inspection consisted

of selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews

with personnel, and observations by the inspectors. These findings are

documented in the enclosed inspection report.

During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in

violation of NRC requirements. Consequently, you are required.to respond to

those violations, in writing,.in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201

of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

. Violation enclosed with this letter. However, in the case of Violation B,

please address the question of whether the calibration procedure that caused

_

the violation could have been used for the calibration of other instruments

cedure errors identified in paragraph 8 of the report and corrective actions

taken including generic actions on these issues.
