Dear Mr. Liu:
SUBJECT:
ROUTINE RESIDENT INSPECTION AT DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER
,
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. J. Hopkins, P. Prescott,
and C. Miller of this office on July 8 through August 23, 1993.
The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Duane Arnold
'
Energy Center (DAEC) facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
-
activities in progress.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this
inspection.

Concerns with foreign material exclusion and personnel errors were identified
j
during the inspection.
The trip of the spent fuel pool cooling pump due to
j'
debris in the suction strainer demonstrates the need for you to improve the
control of- foreign material on the refuel floor. We are also concerned that
the number of personnel errors at the end of the reporting period may be the
beginning of an adverse trend. We will continue to evaluate your efforts to
improve the control of foreign material on the refuel floor and to reduce
personnel errors.
In addition, the results of a routine, announced inspection to evaluate your
10 CFR 50.59 Safety Evaluation Program at DAEC, conducted from June 7 through
June 11, 1993, by Mr. R. Pulsifer of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation,
is included as a separate enclosure (Enclosure 2). No violations of NRC
requirements were identified during Mr. Pulsifer's inspection.
