Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. E. J. Ford and W. B. Jones
of this office during the period August 29 through September 15, 1988, of
activities authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-47 for River Bend Station,
and to the discussion of our findings with you and other members of your staff
at the conclusion of the inspection.
The area examined during the inspection was a followup on your staff's finding
that both divisions of the fuel building ventilation charcoal filtration system
was placed in an inoperable condition. This system is required to be operable
by the River Bend Station Technical Specifications. Within this area, 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.
As a result of this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities
appear?d to be in violation of NRC requirements. As discussed in the telephcne
conversation on September 26, 1988, between Messrs. G. L. Constable and L. A.
England of your staff, an enforcement conference will be scheduled in our
Region IV office, to discuss your understanding of these apparent violations,
the reasons for occurrences, and your corrective actions. We will also discuss
the enforcement policy, if appropriate.
The NRC staff is particularly concerned with ti:is event because it appears that
the corrective actions from a similar event 2 yurs earlier were not completed.
Had these earlier corrective actions been completed, this event could have been
avoided.
In addition, your licensed operators shuuld have identified thet the
heater switches were misalligned during control board walk downs.
