Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. N. R. Williamsen

and others of the Commission, on May 19-21, 1986, of-activities at Big Rock

Point Nuclear Plant, authorized by NRC Operating License No. DPR-6, and to the

discussion of our findings with Mr. D. P. Hoffman and others of your staff at

the conclusion of the inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this

inspection. However, one weakness was identified which will need corrective

action by your staff. This weakness is summarized in the Appendix to this

letter. As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E (IV.F.) any weaknesses that are

identified must be corrected.

The responses directed by this letter are not subject to the clearance

procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act, PL 96-115.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document

Room.

EXERCISE WEAKNESS

Consumers Power. Company Docket No. 50-155

Following the declaration of the Alert during the exercise, the TSC properly

completed their notifications within fifteen minutes (per Appendix E), but they

notified the NRC before (rather than "immediately after") notification of the

State and local agencies, contrary to 10 CFR 50.72(a)(ii)(3). (155/86008-01)
