50-278/DPR-56
Philadelphia Electric Company
ATTN: Mr. S. L. Daltroff
Vice President
Electric Production
2301 Market Street
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101
Gentlemen:
Subject: Combined Inspection 50-277/85-29; 50-278/85-33
This transmits the findings of the routine safety inspection by Messrs.
T. P. Johnson, J. P. Rogers, and J. H. Williams, on September 14 - October 25,
1985, at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Delta, Pennsylvania. These
findings were based on observation of activities, interviews, measurements and
document reviews,- and have been discussed with Mr. R. S. Fleischmann of your
staff.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that several of your activ-
ities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth
in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These violations
have 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
~1etter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in
Appendix A.
l
As discussed in Appendix A, one issue cited relates to an apparent misinterpre-
"
tation of NRC reporting requirements under 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73. We are
concerned, not only with the lack of reporting of Unit 3 reactor protection
system actuations, but also with the issuance of guidance which modified, in a
less conservative direction, a PORC approved Administrative Procedure, which
was intended to implement the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73.
In addi-
tion to your response to the specific violation, please provide us with a
discussion of the management controls used to ensure that PORC approved pro-
cedures are not revised in a less conservative direction via the issuance of
non-PORC reviewed guidance.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not sub-
ject 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.
