Subject: NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-309/88-16

,

'

Gentlemen:

This transmits the October 6 to November 19, 1988, routine inspection findings

of Mr. C. Holden and Mr. R. Freudenberger at the Mainc Yankee Atomic Power

Plant, Wiscasset, Maine. Those findings were based on observations of activ-

ities, interviews, and document reviews, and have been discussed with

Dr. Boulette of your staff.

Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed. Overall,

control of outage activities appears good. Planning and outage coordination

activities are working well and the reduction in control room activities has

benefited the operating crew. Major surveillance tests such as containment

i

integrated leak rate testing and oddy current inspection of number 1 steam

'

generator had good oversight,

i We are concerned, however, about a number of wiring discrepancies identified by

the plant during this outage. In addition to the individual resolution of

these discrepancies, we are interested in understanding the root cause/causes

l

of these problems.

l

No reply to this letter is required. Your continued cooperation with us in

thi: matter is appreciated.

l

l

Sincerely.
