Subject:
Region I Inspection Report No. 50-271/88-06
This refers to the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Mr. G. Grant
of this office on March 22, 1988 - May_16, 1988, at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear
power Station, Vernon , - Vermont.
The inspection consisted of observation of
activities, interviews with personnel and document reviews. The results of the
j
inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report enclosed with
this letter and were discussed with Mr. J. Pelletier of your staff at the
.
conclusion of the inspection.
l
,
We have received your March 25, 1988 reply to the Notice of Violation, brought
to your attention in our letter dated February 25,1988 (Inspection Report
i
,
87-16), concerning failure to follow administrative controls for material
leaving the Radiation Control Area (RCA).
Your corrective actions appear
,
responsive to our concerns. Subsequent inspection in this area has shown cur-
i
rent controls to be ef fective.
Further evaluation of the long-term effective-
4
ness of these actions will be accomplished during routine inspection.

We have also received your supplemental response of March 25,1988 to the
,
Notice
of
Violation,
brought
to your attention
in our
letter dated
February 6,1987 (Inspection Report 86-25) and reaffirmed in our letter dated
February 25, 1988 (Inspection Report 87-16), concerning failure to correctly
implement the requirements of subsections IWP-3220 and IWP-3230 of Section XI
,
of the ASME Code relating to IST vibration testing. Although you maintain that
- i
your past practices in this area were in full compliance with the ASME Code, we
note that ynur current revised practices have effectively addressed our con-
1
cerns. Further, we acknowledge your efforts to improve the overall vibration
measurement program through use of a new computer based system. Although your
implementation of the new system has been subject to some start-up problems,
efforts in this area demonstrate a commitment to improved plant performance.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", a copy of
this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document
Room.
