SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-369/97-04 and 50-370/97-04
<
Dear Mr. Barron:
On April 5.1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your McGuire 1 & 2
reactor facilities.
The enclosed report presents the results of that inspec-
tion.
,
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection aeriod, your conduct of
activities at the McGuire facilities wo. generally claracterized by safety-
'
conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and careful
radiological work controls. Appropriate control of outage work activities
,
such as_ safe heavy load movements and heightened awareness for potential Unit
+
1 impact on the safe operation of Unit 2 were noted during this period.
However, a violation of NRC requirements was identified regarding (1) a
failure to ensure that the FWST transmitter enclosure heaters were installed
in accordance with design documents, and (2) a failure to report in a timely
manner a degraded condition on Unit 1 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72.
Both
of these issues were identified by the NRC and were associated with previous
problems.
.
,
,
The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the
circumstances surrounding the issues are described in detail in the enclosed
report.
Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and
q
should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing
your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine whether
further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements.
The enclosed Inspection Report also identifies activities that violated NRC
requirements that will not be subject to enforcement action because the
l
licensee's efforts in identifying and/or correcting the violation meet the
criteria specified in Section VII.B.1 of the Enforcement Policy.
These issues
involved (1) a failure to maintain adequate configuration control for a
reactor coolant system letdown filter housing vent which contributed to an RCS
,
leak in excess of Technical Specification limits: and (2) a failure to
l
complete maintenance on ice condenser components in accordance with prescribed
[
t
,
procedures
