SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-354/98-09

,

Dear Mr. Keiser:

This refers to the engineering inspection conducted on August 17 to 26,1998, and

September 8,1998, at the Hopo Creek Generating Station. The inspection included an

assessment of the current fuel reload core design and effectiveness of the engineering

functions in this area; a review of the current level of engineering backlogs and ongoing

efforts to reduce it; and an evaluation of the adequacy of the actions to address previously

identified issues._ The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The results

were discussed onsite with Mr. B. Simpson, and other members of your staff, on

September 8,1998.

'

The inspectors determined that the reactor engineering staff maintained acceptable control

over fuel reload core design. The inspectors also found the actions to address nine

previously identified violatlons and unresolved items acceptable and the issues were

'

l closed.' The current level of backlogged engineering activities continued to be high, but

improvements were noted in this area.

We appreciate your cooperation with us in this matter, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790

of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in

the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). If you have any questions or comments, please

{ call me at (610) 337-5376.

Sincerely, ,
