Vice President

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection 50-277/85-40

This transmits.the findings of the routine safety inspection by Messrs.

J. H. Williams and T. P. Johnson on October 26 - December 31, 1985, at the Peach

Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 2, Delta, Pennsylvania. These findings were

based on observation of activities, interviews, measurements and document reviews,

and have been discussed with Mr. R. S. Fleischmann and Mr. D. C. Smith of your

staff.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Based on the results of

this inspection, it appears that one of your activities was not conducted in

full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the Notice of Violation,

enclosed herewith as Appendix A. This violation has been categorized by

severity level in accordance with the revised NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2,

Appendix C) published in the Federal Register Notice (49 FR 8583) dated

March 8, 1984. You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing

your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

We are concerned about the ability of Unit 2 to meet Technical Specification

shutdown margin requirements with a control rod blocked (tagged out) in the

fully withdrawn position as was identified during this inspection. In addition

to your response to Appendix A, you are requested to address this concern and

describe any correction action taken or planned.

The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not

subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as

required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.

A copy of this letter and the enclosures are being placed in the NRC public

Document Room.
