SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/97-22 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Dugger:

. An NRC inspection was conducted September 21 through November 1,1997, at your

- Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the

scope and results uf that inspection.

Durirg the 6 week . eriod covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at

Waterford 3 was generally characterized by good performance of operations, maintenance,

engineering, and plant support. However, violations of NRC requirements were identified.

The first Wolation involved the failure to properly secure wheeled items in the reactnr

auxiliary building in the vicinity of safety-related equipment, as specified by your

administrative procedures, The second violation, identified by your staff, involved two

examples related to the same instance o' fRilure to meet the inservice test requirements for

establishing a new set of baseline per'. . ,e data. This violation was cited because it is

a repeat of an earlier failure to perform ... .nservice test and evaluate the data prior to

changing the operating conditions for the component. This violation is of concern because

many other instrument calibration changes could have occurred without the engineering

programs' inservice test personnel being made aware of the changes.

These violations are cited in the unclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the

circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in ths enc!osed reoort. l

Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the l

I

Instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will

use your response, in part, to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary

to ensure compliance with reguiatory requirements. In addition, please address the actions

being implemented to ensure that the personnel responsible for the inservice test program

will be made aware of any changes to components tested and/or used during inservice

tests. . Also, please address in your response the assurance your ctaff has that these have

been the only instruments affected.
