SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-334/98-06,50-412/98-06
EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION
Dear Mr. Cross:
The NRC conducted an inspection of the Beaver Valley Power Station facilities from
j
October 4 to November 14,1998. The enclosed report presents the results of that
inspection.
'
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at
i
tne Beaver Valley Power Station facilities was characterized by safe plant operation. The
shutdown on November 1 of Unit 2 to replace some station battery cells was completed in
a controlled manner with clear communications. Enhanced battery cell monitoring was
good and led to the prompt identification of the battery celllow voltage. The Management
Review Team was appropriately summoned by your Unit 1 control room staff and was
effective in responding to multiple equipment problems on October 15. Maintenance work
was performed in a technically sound manner.
)
You have established effective programs for the collection, processing, transport and
disposition of radioactive materials and radwaste; the training of employees working with
hazardous materials; and quality assurance review of the Process Control Program and
j
related radwaste and transportation activities, including those activities performed by
vendors. All reviewed shipments were determined to be in accordance with applicable
regulations. Effective radiological controls were established and implemented during the
clean out of various sumps and tanks located in the radiologically controlled areas.
Our inspectors also reviewed several longstanding deficiencies associated with the testing
\\l
of safety related logic circuits and your actions to identify and correct these items.
Collectively, the 10 instances where required portions of safety related logic circuitry were
not tested represented a deficient Test Control Program and was a violation of 10 CFR 50,
Appendix B, Criterion XI, " Test Control." However, after consultation with the Director,
Office of Enforcement, and the Director, Division of Reactor Projects, the NRC has decided
to exercise discretion and not cite this violation in accordance with Section Vll B.3 of the
Enforcement Policy. Discretion is warranted because: (1) the inadequacies were licensee-
identified as a result of an initiative in response to NRC GL 96-01,(2) corrective actions
were timely and effective, (3) the testing deficiencies were not likely to be identified by

routine efforts, and (4) the actions that caused the testing deficiencies occurred more than
five years ago and were not reflective of current performance. The exercise of discretion
acknowledges your good effort to identify and correct subtle violations, that would not be
identified by routine efforts, before the degraded safety systems are called upon.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter
and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
No reply to this letter is necessary. Your cooperation was appreciated.
Sincerely,
