Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letters, dated April 16 and 29,1987, June 17,1987, and
May 31, 1988, in response to our equipment qualification inspection report
forwarded by our letter dated April 1,1987, and discussions on this report in
our telephone conversations of May 23 and 27,1988.
During the equipment qualification inspection, nine Potential Enforcement /Unresalved
items and 19 open items were identified.
Subsequently, it has been found that
certain of your activities appear to be in violation of NRC requirements
although operability aspects have now been addressed.
By separate letter we
will schedule an enforcament conference in the Region IV office to discuss your
understanding of an-
. violations which represent failures to fully esttblish
the qualification (
..e following equipment, as documented in NRC Inspection
Report 50-298/86-28:
(1) Kerite HTK/FR 600V cable; (2) Raychem coaxial cable;
(3) Thomas & Betts (T&B) Sta-kon cable splices to Fenwal/Patel temperature
switches; (4) Okonite T95/35 motor operator splices; (5) Boston Insulated
Wire (BIW) coaxial cable; (6) scotch taped and T&B cable splices in motor
operators; and (7) General Electric (GE) electrical penetrations.
In addition, during the discussions in our telephone conversations of May 23
and 27, 1988, several Potential Enforcement / Unresolved Items and several Open
Items appeared to have an adequate resolution. However, we would like you to
fully discuss these items, which also appear to have represented a failure to
fully establish the qualification of the following equipment at the time of the
inspection as documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-298/86-28:
(1) BIW
Bostrad 7'.
able; (2) mounting orientation and interface descriptions for
various pressure / level switches; (3) Microswitch OP-N and DTE limit switches;
!
(4) ASCO SA11AR and 0J 11A4R temperature switches; (5) ASCO HVA, WPHT, and NP-1
solenoid' valves;(6)BarksdaleB2TMandB2Tpressureswitetes;(7)Rosemount1153
transmitters including the B/1159 remote seal system; (8) Static-0-Ring TA
pressure switches; and (9) GE SX634 motors.
These discussions should focus on infonnation related to the November 30,
1985, deadlines for compliance with 10 CFR 50.49 and possible civil penalties
applicable to licensees not in compliance with 10 CFR 50.49 as described in the
April 7,1988, Generic Letter (88-07), Modified Enforcement Policy Relating to
10 CFR 50.49, "Environmental Qualification of Electrical Equipment Import nt to

number of failures to establish equipment qualification by the November 30,
1985, deadline identified at Cooper Nuclear Station during -the NRC "first-round"
inspection. Discussions should also address evaluation of many of these issues
for reportability under 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73.
The referenced inspection report was forwarded to you under separate cover on
April 1, 1987.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federtl Regulations, a copy of this letter will be placed in
the NRC's Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning these arrangements, we will be
pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
