Docket No. 50-344
Portland General Electric Company
121 S. W. Salmon Street
Portland, Oregon -97204
Attention: David W. Cockfield-
Vice President, Nuclear
Gentlemen:
Thank you for~your letter of December 30, 1987,- in response to our Notice of
Violation and. Inspection Report No. 50-344/87-40, dated November 30, 1987,
informing us of the steps you have taken to correct the items which we.
. brought to your attention. Your corrective actions will be verified during
future inspections.
The two violations in the. subject inspection report were of particular
concern. These violations indicate that your efforts to assure procedural
compliance have not been completely effective. Specifically, these violations
indicate that there is a misconception that deviations from procedures were
acceptable without appropriate approval as long as these changes were
believed to be more conservative. Equally of concern is that supervision
apparently shared this view. We recognize that you are working to improve in
the. area of procedural compliance, however, we urge you to move aggressively
to address and deal with this issue.
Also, due to the duration of one of the violations, the area of quality
verification concerning reactor physics may require additional attention
' '
by you.
Finally, your assessment of a reasonable time frame to determine quadrant
power tilt ratio does not appear to be consistent with time frames for similar
determinations made at other nuclear plants. Therefore, we expect that you
,
will reexamine this issue to assure that timely action is taken to evaluate
c
'
apparent discrepancies in reactor physics measurement. Please inform us of
the results of your evaluation on this matter.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
ggjh$$44
