Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. W
F. Smith and T. R. Staker
of this office during the period May 12-20, 1988, of activities authorized by
NRC Operating License NPF-38 for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, and
to t..e discussion of our findings with Mr. R. P. Barkhurst and other members of
your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this. inspection included the events which occurred and
actions taken by LP8L personnel prior to, during and subsequent to the incident
on May 12, 1988, when problems with refueling water level instruments twice
resulted in _ possible loss of shutdown cooling. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the NRC inspectors. The
inspection findings are documented in the enclosed inspection report.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities appeared
tn be in violation of NRC requirements which resulted in consequences of
- potential s'afety significance. As discussed in our telephone conversation of
May 26, 1988, with your staff, wc have seneduled an enforcement conference in our
Regior IV offices in Arlington, Texas, on June 14, 1988.
During this
conference, you will be given an opportunity to discuss your understanding of
these apparent violations, and to explain the circumstances surrounding the near
loss of shutdown cooling events that occurred on May 12, 1988, and what actions
you irt.end to take such that similar events will not occur in the future.
During this inspection, it was also found that certain of your activities
appeared to deviate from commitments made to the NRC.
It is requested that you
respond to-these deficiencies at the above conference, as they are related to
the same subject.
