Docket No. 50-293
Boston Edison Company
ATTN: -Mr. Ralph G. Bird-
Senior Vice President - Nuclear

Boston, Massachusetts 02199
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Number 50-293/88-20
This letter refers to the special inspection conducted by Mr. H. J. Kaplan of
this office on May 2-6, 1988 at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Plymouth,
Massachusetts and in the Region 1 office the week of June 6,1988. The purpose
of the inspection was to determine if the licensee had modified the Pilgrim
Plant containment in accordance with the commitments to NRC concerning Unre-
solved Safety Issue (USI) A-7.
Mr. Kaplan focused his attention on the QA
aspects of the modification involving materials, welding, and NDE.
At the inspection exit meeting on May 6, 1988, Mr. Kaplan informed
Mr. K. Highfill of your staff that he was unable to verify with complete
certainty that the modification work performed by Graver Energy Systems, the
principal installer, was in complete agreement with the specified requirements;
,
Although extensive modification records existed in the form of microfiche, key
documents that were necessary to correlate the records to specific hardware
installed in the plant were not available.
Mr.
glan requested that your
staff retrieve the key documents, which apparencly had not been microfilmed and
assemble the records to permit a meaningful. assessment.
Subsequently,'on
June 8,1988, Mr. P. Hamilton and Mr.
M.- Andrews of your staff presented
collated document packages to Mr. Kaplan for his review at our Regional Office
in King of Prussia. Mr. Kaplan conducted his review of the submitted document
packages and concluded the records satisfactorily demonstrated that the modi-
fication of the Mark I Containment had been performed in accordance with the
specified installation requirements.
Wi".hin the scope of this investigation, no violations were observed; however,
we do want to emphasize that records of' activities that could affect plant
quality, such as plant modifications, should be readily retrievable.
