Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50-424/87-57
Thank you for your revised response of March 11, 1988, to our Notice of
Violation, issued on November 5,1987, concerning activities conducted at your
Vogtle facility.
This letter also documents the meeting between NRC Region 11 personnel and
Georgia Power Company (GPC) personnel, which was held in the Region II office
on March 25, 1988, to discuss Violation B of the subject inspection report. A
list of meeting attendees is enclosed.
After careful consideration of the bases for your denial of Violation B, we
have concluded for the reasons presented in previous NRC correspondence on
this matter and as explained at the March 25, 1988 meeting, that the violation
occurred as stated in the Notice of Violation.
We recognize that your
position was based on the understanding that only failures that affected
surveillance frequencies were to be considered reportable failures.
Nevertheless, as discussed, all failures are considered to be reportable,
thereby requiring a special report to be submitted for the unsuccessful start
attempts listed in the Notice of Violation. At the conclusion of the March 25
1988 meeting, Georgia Power Company personnel acknowledged the violation and stated
that a special report will be submitted by April 25, 1988, concerning these
unsuccessful start attempts.
They also stated that methods used to determine
reportability will be modified so that all start failures will be reported
as required.
We will examine the implementation of your corrective actions
during future inspections.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Albert F. Gibson, Director
Division of Reactor Safety
