Subject:
Inspection No. 50-293/88-17
This refers to the maintenance assessment team inspection led by
Mr. D. Haverkamp of this office on April 25 to May 5,1988, at the Pilgrim
Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), Plymouth, Massachusetts and at the Braintree,
Massachusetts engineering office.
The inspection addressed activities
authorized by NRC License No. DPR-35. At the conclusion of the inspection,
an exit interview was held with you and members of your staff to discuss
the scope and the findings of the inspection.
The inspection findings
were also discussed during a telephone conversation on May 25, 1988 between
Mr. R. Anderson of your staff and Mr. Haverkamp.
The purpost of this inspection was to perform an in-depth assessment of main-
tenance activities at PNPS, including examination of identified maintenance
problems, correction of those problems, and maintenance section interfaces
with engineering, operations, quality assurance and health physics personnel.
Particular emphasis was placed on maintenance activities associated with the
high pressure coolant injection system and reactor core isolation cooling
system that were completed during the current outage, as well'as ongoing
maintenance activities.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I
Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas,
the inspection consisted of interviews with personnel, observations and
examinations of plant equipment and selective examinations of procedures,
representative records and documents by the inspectors. No violations of
regulatory requirements were identified during the inspection.
However, significant deficiencies were identified during the inspection that
warrant your attention and should be addressed prior to PNPS restart. The
deficiencies are in the areas of the maintenance program, program performance
and staffing, and are identified in section 1.2 of the enclosed report. We
request that you responJ in writing within thirty days of receipt of this
letter identifying actions taken or planned to address these deficiencies.
