Docket No. 50-289
GPU Nuclear Corporation
ATTN: Mr. H. D. Hukill
Vice President and Director, TMI-1
P. O. Box 480
Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-289/87-19
During the period from October 2-31, 1987, members of NRC Region I staff'
conducted routine safety inspections at your facility and your corporate office
in Parsippany, New Jersey. We. documented the results of that inspection in
the enclosed report. At the conclusion of the inspection period, Mr. R. Conte
of my staff summarized the inspection findings with you and other members of
your staff.
The attached Notice of Violation identified a failure to properly follow
procedures related to lifting leads for safety-related equipment. We are
satisfied with your corrective actions and measures to prevent recurrence as
documented in this report. Accordingly, no response is required for
Appendix A, unless there is a misunderstanding.
Also, this is to acknowledge receipt of your letter, dated June 3,1987, on
your independent verification program (IVP).
Your letter indicated that any
expansion of the IVP scope of applicability must be justified with safety
reasons and using the backfit process.
The program' meets your revised
commitments. However, a weakness was identified in that the IVP is not
rigorously applied to radwaste, fire protection, and certain safety-related
instruments.
Past poor implementation in this area cannot be correlated to
this weakness.
Further, no significant safety events have resulted because of
this weakness. Accordingly, application of the backfit process would appear
to be inappropriate at this time. However, you should consider reviewing
facility procedures for the areas noted above associated with equipment that
is not now a part of the IVP and assure yourselves that a serious event would
not occur as a result of inadequate independent verification.
No response to this letter is required.
Thank you for your cooperation in
these matters.
Sincerely,
,
Lee L. Bettenhausen, Chief
Reactor Projects Branch No. 1
