Gentlemen:

Subject: Millstone 3 Routine Inspection 50-423/87-24 (11/3/87-12/07/87)

This refers to the routine resident safety inspection conducted on November 3

- December 7, 1987, at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit 3.

The

results of the inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report

enclosed with this letter and were discussed with Mr. C. H. Clement of your

staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

No violations were identified during this inspection and no reply to this

letter is required. However, we are concerned about your follow-up and root

cause identification of events which led to abnormal sodium concentration in

the refueling water storage tank and the reactor coolant system (Detail 9) and

your lack of boundary valve control during cavity draining (Detail 10). We

will follow your corrective actions for these.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

6:.
