SUBJECT:
. PERRY INSPECTION REPORT 50-440/99003(DRP)
Dear Mr. Myers:
On May 17,1999, the NRC completed a routine safety it,spection at the Perry Nuclear Power
Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During this 6-week inspection period, the conduct of activities at the Perry facility was
professional with an appropriate focus on safety. The plant staff safely and effectively
conducted refueling operations. Lessons leamed were applied from the previous refueling
outage in the areas of communications, operator performance, safety tagging, and work
control. The plant staff was also effective in inspecting, locating, and correcting the previously
identified fuel failures and steps were taken to minimize the potenkt for future fuel damage.
Detracting from the otherwise good performance during this inspr dw period were examples
where procedural requirements were not properly adhered to.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of NRC
requirements occurred.- These violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs),
consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the
subject inspection report. !f you contest the violation or severity level of these NCVs, you
should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for
your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,
Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and the
Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20555-0001.
