Subject: Inspection No. Report 50-219/86-09

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. A. A. Varela

, of this office on May 5-9, 1986, at GPU Engineering Office, Parsippany, New

] Jersey and at the Oyster Creek plant of activities authurized by NRC License

i No. OPR-16 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Varela with

l Mr. R. F. Wilson at the conclusion of the inspection.

i

) Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

1 Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the

} inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative

j records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

i

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that two of your activities

were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in

j

the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. These violations

i have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the revised NRC

i Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register e

i Notice (49 FR 8583) dated March 8, 1984. You are required to respond to this

i letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in

{ Appendix A.

4

i Another activity appears to be a deviation in that the evaluations performed

! regarding mortar strength were based on assumptions, and specifications, not on

i construction records or tests. This deviation is described in Appendix B. You

! are requested to also respond to the deviation following the instructions pro- .

'

j vided in Appendix 8.

I Based on the results of this inspection, we were not able to verify that you

had fulfilled the commitments made in your responses to IE Bulletin 80-11,

i Masonry Wall Design. The lack of documentation regarding the procedures and

i criteria used in surveys performed to identify those walls which would be

i subjected to detailed analysis, and, regarding your verification of mortar

f strength led us to question the adequacy of your actions. Consequently, in

1 your response to the attached Notices, you should include a discussion of why

{ your proposed masonry wall reverification program will adequately address the

i

concerns identified in the Bulletin. Also, you should address the schedule for

i completion of the reverification efforts.
