SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50 213/97-05
Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:
On October 6,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at Connecticut Yankee Atomic
Power Company. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the three month period covered by this inspection period, the Haddam Neck staff
contir.ued to assure the safe storage of spent fuel, and addressed severalissues important
to shutdown oporations and to d'> commissioning. A good regard for plant spent fuel safety
was noted in your efforts to addressBulletin 94-01 issues and the consequences of
beyond design basis events, a totalloss of pool water. Several events challenged
operators, including an inadvertent actuation of the halon system that caused operators to
leave the control room for about forty-five minutes. Our inspection noted other concerns in
the areas of procedure quality, personnel errors, poor material conditions, and the tracking
of commitments. We encourage your efforts to improve performance in these areas.
Progress was noted in the comp!stion of actions to pkn for decommissioning. The
radiological controls for routine work ,sas acceptable, and the actions to address
weaknesses in the program to calibrate the radiation monitoring system were well
conceived and executed.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this ictter
and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
Sincerely,
Original Signed By:
Richard J. Conte, Chief
