' Jackson, MI 49201
Gentlemen:
This refers- to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs.
Stephen Guthrie and Michael Parker of this office on November 1, 1985 -
January 23, 1986, of activities at Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant authorized
by NRC Operating License No. DRP-6 and to the discussion of our findings
with Mr. David Hoffman at the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a sel y tive
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
l
interviews with personnel.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this
inspection.
However, this inspection identifies two examples of the type of
incident which resulted in escalated enforcement action during December 1985.
Specifically, an incident of Field Maintenance Service employees failing to
follow local control procedures for component isolation resulted in a valve
being repaired without tagging or isolation and is believed to have resulted
in a steam leak from the reactor vessel and subsequent scram.
Additionally,
on two occasions Reactor Operators performing control rod manipulations failed
to record rod notch movements on a laminated card file implemented by you as
corrective action to address two incidents of mispositioned control rods in
1985.
Because these events are additional examples of citable offenses which
were thoroughly addressed in an Enforcement Conference December 5, 1985, and
because you are' actively developing and implementing corrective measures
expected to have a positive effect on the conduct of operations at your
facility, these findings are not presented as violations in this report.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room.
