Docket No. 50-352

Philadelphia Electric Company

ATTN: Mr. J. W. Gallagher

Vice President, Nuclear Services

2301 Market Street

Philadelphia, PA 19101

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection 50-352/87-28

This letter transmits the routine resident safety inspection by Messrs. 6. Kelly and

L. Scholl on November 1 - December 10, 1987 at the Limerick Generating

Station, Limerick, Pennsylvania. The inspection consisted of document

reviews, interviews, and observation of activities, and the results have been

discussed with Mr. John Franz of your staf f.

A new item appears in the attached inspection report (See Detail 8) covering

the subject of assurance of quality. Assurancc of Quality is an area of

evaluation NRC has recently added to the SALP process. 4 tivities at all

levels of a licensee's organization are needed to assure quality. We will be

evaluating those activities in all functional areas. Inspection findings

applicable to the assurance of quality may be found in various details of

inspr.; tion reports. Noteworthy findings, both strengths and weaknesses, will

be included in a separate detail item, as it is done in the attached report,

when appropriate. I have provided reporting guidance to our resident inspectors

in this ar a. They will be glad to discuss it with you or your staff.

Based on our review, a violation of administrative controls causing the

inoperability of certain fire protection systems was identified. This

violation indicates that. the operations staff did not properly evaluate an

equipment tag-out and obtain appropriate supervisory approval prior to

isolating valves important to the continued operation of fire suppression

systems. This violation has been categorized by severity level according to

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy). You are requi ed to respond

to this violation and in preparing your response you should follow the

instructions in Appendix A.
