Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. D. E. Norman of this office
during the period April 28 through May 2,1986, of activities authorized by NRC
Operating License NPF-47 and to the discussion of our findings with you, and
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included control wiring for limitorque
valve operators located in a harsh environment. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative
j
reccrds, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector. The
inspection findings are documented in the enclosed inspection report.
Two potential violations are identified in paragraph 3.c.(3) of the enclosed
inspection report. You will be advised at a later date of the enforcement
actions, if any, which mey be taken relative to these potential violations.
In
the meantime, your corrective actions regarding the potential violations should
not be delayed, pending either a future NRC inspection or further actions by
the NRC Region IV office.

commitment are identified in the enclosed Notice of Deviation. You are
requested to respond to this deviation in writing. Your response should be
based on the specifics contained in the Notice of Deviation enclosed with this
letter.
One unresolved item is identified in paragraph 3.c.(3) of the enclosed
inspection report.

operators had not yet been inspected at River Bend to verify that they have
qualified wiring.
It appears unlikely that operators in this remaining group
contain unqualified wiring. Although it would be reasonable to establish a
confirmatory inspection schedule which would take advantage of outages or other
breaks in plant operations, it is our understanding that the majority of these
