3.0 Item of Special Interest On June 9,1988, PECo senior management met with NRC Region I management to discuss fitidings of the licensee's internal security investigation and audit reports. The licensee's corrective actions will be reviewed in future NRC inspections.
Region I received the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's comments on Revision I of the "Plan for Restart of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station." The June 16, 1988, letter was from Governor Casey's general council.
These comments will be considered during restart deliberations.
On June 19, 1988, a contractor supervisor found six apparently unopened Budweiser beer bottles (pony size) in a contractor break area within the protected area.

On June 4, 1988, an inaavertent angineered safeguards features (ESF) actuation of shutdown cooling occurred during motor operated valve testing. On June 13, 1988, an inadvertent ESF actuation of reactor water cleanup occurred during wire splice inspections. On June 14, 1988, an inadvertent ESF actuation of drywell ventilation occurred during manipulation of drywell ventilation systems. On June 16, 1988, lightning strikes caused power to be lost to the emergency response facilities (ERF) on three separate occasions.
Emergency backup power was not available because the ERF diesel generator was blocked for maintenance.
