Gentlemen:

Subject: NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-293/88-21, Integrated

Assessment Team Inspection

This refers to the Integrated Assessment Team Inspection (IATI) led by

Mr. A. Randy Blough of this office on August 8-24, 1988, at the' Pilgrim

Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), Plymouth, Massachusetts. The results of the

inspection are documer;ted in the enclosed inspection report. At the conclusion

of the inspection, an exit interview was held with you and members of your

staff to discuss the scepe and the findings of the inspection.

The purpose of this inspection was to perform an independent, in-deoth assess-

ment of the readiness of management controls, programs, and personnel to sup- i

port safe restart and operation of the facility. The inspection Team performed i

an integrated evaluation of various functional areas, including operations, '

maintenance, surveillance, radiation protection, security, training, fire pro-

tection, and assurance of quality. Within those areas, the inspection con- l

sisted of interviews with personnel, obs(rvations of plant activities,. and .

selective examinations of procedures, records, and documents by the inspectors. (

Within the scope of its review, the Team concluded with high confidence that

Bor, ton Edison Company (BECo) management controls, programs, and personnel are

generally ready and performing at a level to support safe startup and operation

of the facility. Those technical items requiring resolution or completion .

'

prior to restart are bei.ig addressed and tracked by BECo. The Team identified

a relatively small number of additional items for which actions or evaluations .

appear appropriate; BECo has made commitments in those areas, as detailed in i

'

section 2.4 of the enclosed report. As a result of this inspection, the

,

Team concluded that there are currently no fundamental flaws in BEco's '

management structure, management performance, programs, or program '

i implementation that would inhibit its ability to assure reactor or public

safety during plant operation. [
