Docket No. 50-344
Portland Genaral Electric Company
121 S.W. Salmon Street
Portland, Oregon 97204
Attention: Mr. David W. Cockfield
Vice President, Nuclear
Gentlemen:
Subject: NRC Inspection of the Trojan Nuclear Plant
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. R. C. Barr and Mr. G. Y. Suh of
this office en June 19 - July 30, 1988, of activities authorized by NRC
,
License No. NPF-1, and to the discussion of our findings held by Mr. Barr and
Mr. Suh with Mr. Olmstead and other nembers of your staff periodically during
the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection
report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel ani observations by the inspectors. Within the scope of this
inspection no violations of NRC requirements were identified.
However, this inspection found the root cause analysis on several licensee
event reports (LERs) lacking. This is particularly bothersore since the
topic of root cause adequacy has been previously discussed with you in
inspection reports, exit meetings and management neetings. Also, the
inspectors found that LERs submitted by PGE were not consistently clear and
specific so that an understanding of the complete event could be gained.
Recently, we have conrunicated our concerns on this topic to you (D. F.
Kirsch's letter dated August 5, 1906), and NRR has also previously discussed
this problem with PGE. We underJtand that you have an action plan to irrprove
LER qutlity and root cause analyses. Hewever, our preliminary, in-office
review of revision 1 to LER 88-18, dealing with control room emergency
ventilation system operability, still found problems. We understanc' that you
plan another revision to LER 88-18 to address these concerns and otner
problems PGE identified. Additionally, the inspectors review of fire protection
LERs concluded that trending and corrective actions in this area have not been
fully effective.
Further efforts appear to be needed on the part of your
staff to achieve complete and thorough event reports, and appropriate
,
corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Docurrent Room.
