SUBJECT:

AUDIT REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF GENERIC LETTER 98-01, " YEAR l

2000 READINESS OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS AT NUCLEAR POWER L

PLANTS" FOR SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO.1 (TAC NO. MA1887)

L

Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:

L The enclosed report includes the results of the subject audit conducted by NRC staff at the Seabrook Station from September 29,1998, through October 1,1998. The purpose of the audit was to assess the effectiveness of the Year 2000 (Y2K) program at Seabrook, to evaluate the implementation schedule in accordance with Generic Letter (GL) 98-01, and to assess the L

l-contingency plans that address potential Y2K problems.

The audit team found the Seabrook Millennium Project Plan, which addresses the Y2K readiness program, to be well-structured and readily useable. In addition, the test procedure developed by Seabrook for identifying and correcting potential Y2K problems appeared thorough. During the audit, the team identified an inconsistency in the application of certain classifications. However, your staff was already aware of the inconsistency and had already started to resolve the issue. The results of this audit and subsequent audits at other selected nuclear power plants will be used by the staff to determine the need for additional action, if any, l

on Y2K readiness for nuclear power plants, i

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room. If you have any questions regarding the attached report, please contact me at (301) 415-3199.
