Senior Vice President - Nuclear

Boston, Massachusetts 02199

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection No. 50-293/87-36

This refers to your letter dated October 26, 1987, in response to our letter

dated September 24, 1987.

Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive actions documented

in your letter. These actions will be examined during a future inspection of

your licensed program.

We have considered your request for changing the violation to Severi+y Level V

based on your position that the motors would not be adversely. affected by the

observed elevated voltages. However, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C also states that

Severity Level IV violations can be issued for conditions that, if uncorrected,

can lead to more serious concerns. Although the test voltage data did not

ltimately result in voiding the tests, the issue of concern lies in the

Gilure of test and quality control overview personnel to recognize out of

specification test values on multiple occasions. Accordingly, the violation

remains a Severity Level IV.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

O'I Rinal Stenoa kg-
