SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-277/98-11, 50-278/98-11, 72-
1027/98-11 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
..-
Dear Mr. Rainey:
On January 4,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power
' Station. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
(
-
Your staff continued to operate both units safely. Control room personnel performer 1 wet during
two separate electrical transients and during the Unit 3 load changes to repair an instrument
_
nitrogen leak and replace the main turbine lubricating oil baffier valve and pump.
During the inspection period, we noted that an inadequate breaker manipulation procedure
resulted in the unexpected loss of one off site power source. Subsequent operator action was
required to restore affected plant equipment to a normal plant lineup. Previous procedure
adequacy problems were documented in inspection Reports 50-277(278)/98-02 and 50-
277(278)/98-06. Your staff's continued attention to this problem is warranted.
.
Based on the results of this inspection and an NRC investigation, the NRC has determined
that one violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed
-
Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in
the subject inspection report. The violation is of concern because: 1) three licensed
F operators failed to complete your facility licensed operator requalification program for the
period April 1994 through March 1996 and the training was not made up until April 1998,
in some cases; 2) the failure was due to a program inadequacy (systemic cause) and the
inadequacy apparently caused an inaccurate license renewal application to be submitted to
the NRC upon which the NRC issued a renewed operator license. Our investigation found
that the violation was not willful but was related to programmatic causes. The 01 ,
investigation synopsis is attached to the enclosed inspect;on report.
-
The NRC concluded that your review of this matter was thorough after its identification in
/
' February 1998. You also identified that the lack of a single point of contact in your process for
_ preparing and sending the forms was another cause of the inaccurate license renewal
application. Since your corrective actions are almost complete and appear to address the
f
underlying causes for this violation, no response is required. However, if in the course of your

review, you find that our understanding is substantially different from yours, i.e., another
l systemic cause was found, you should also follow the instructions specified in the enclosed
Notice.
