Newport, MI 48166
Gentlemen:
This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Messrs. W. G. Rogers
and M. E. Parker of this office on October 18, 1987 through March 31, 1988, of
activities at Femi 2 authorized by Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 and
to the discussion of our findings with Mr. W. Orser at the conclusion of the
inspection. The inspection focused on the circumstances surrounding the
inoperability of a reactor protection channel in excess of Technical
Specification requirerents and the design configuration of the primary
containment radiation monitoring system.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
The apparent violation in Paragraph 3.d is being reviewed for potent 41
enforcement action and was discussed as part of the Enforcement Conference
held on April 28, 1988, between you and members of your staff and
Dr. C. J. Paperiello and members of the NRC staff.
The apparent violations in Paragraph 2 are being reviewed for potential
enforcement action in conjunction with the circumstarces surrounding the
failure to include required channel checks of the Reactor Protec+ ion Systen
drywell high pressure instrumentation in any surve'.11ance procedure (Licensee
Event Report (LER)87-048) and failure to perfom the Division I Control
Center Feating Ventilation and Air Conditioning chiller pump and valve
operability surveillance by the critical completion date (LER 87-047).
The inspection of these LERS will be documented in Inspection Report
No. 50-341/88017(DRP). These problems, as a group, are similar to those
that resulted in the Notice of Violation and Imposition of Civil Penalty
of May 14, 1987, and appear to be indicative r f a continued lack of overall
s
understarding and appreciation of the Technical Specifications. Consequently,

it appears that the corrective actions described in your June 12, 1987,
response to the May 14, 1987, Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition
of Civil Penalty have not been ccmpletely effective in preventing the
recurrence of similar problems.
You will be notified by separate correspondence of our decision regarding
enforcement action for these issues.
No written response is required
until you are notified of any proposed enforcement action,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Comission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
Sincerely,
VQgQ~${gntd b"l.b Ol'00T2"
