Docket No. 50-271

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation

Vice President and Manager of Operations

Ferry Road

Brattleboro, Vermont 05301

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection Report No. 50-271/86-10

This refers to the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Mr. W. J. Raymond

of this office on May 6 - June 30, 1986, at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Sta-

tion, Vernon, Vermont. The inspection findings were based on observation of acti-

vities, interviews with personnel and document reviews. The results of the in-

spection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report enclosed with this

letter and were discussed with Mr. J. P. Pelletier of your staff at the conclusion

of the inspection.

Our inspector reviewed the actions taken in response to the violation involving

the standby liquid control (SLC) system described in our letter to you dated March

11, 1986, Inspection Report 86-05. We found that your corrective actions were

completed per the commitments made in your letter FVY 86-43 dated May 22, 1986.

We have no further questions regarding the actions taken to restore the SLC system

to an operable status prior to reloading the core in May, 1986. However, in regard

to the matter of Technical Specifications requirements for functional testing of

the SLC system, based on our telephone conversation July 15, 1986, we understand

that you will propose a c.hange to Technical Specification 4.4. A to better reflect

the revised and upgraded functional test requirements now contained in Revision

8 of OP 4203, " Maintenance and Testing of SLC Squib Valves". We understand further

that the Technical Specifications proposed change will be submitted to NRC by the

end of calendar year 1986 to permit its use prior to the next operability demon-

stration of the squib valves scheduled for the 1987 refueling outage. If your

plans are different than as stated above, please contact this office within 10

working days of your receipt of this letter.

No violations were identified within the scope of this inspection.

No reply to this letter is required. Your cooperation with us in this matter is

appreciated.

Sincerely,
