Docket No. 50-213
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company
ATTN: Mr. J. F. Opeka
Senior Vice President - Nuclear
Engineering and Operations Group
P. O. Box 270
Hartford, Connecticut 06101
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-213/86-17
This refers to the special team inspection, conducted by Mr. A. G. Krasopoulos
of this office on June 16-20, 1986, at Haddam Neck Atomic Power Station of the
safe shutdown capability of the plant in the event of a fire and other activities
authorized by NRC License No. OPR-61 and to the discussions of our findings held
by Mr. Krasopoulos with Mr. E. J. Mroczka of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspec-
tion Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspec-
tion consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representatives records,
interviews with personnel, and observations by the team.
The inspection determined that you do not currently satisfy all of the applicable
requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R.
Exemption requests were previously granted
by the NRC for seven plant areas and a schedular exemption relating to the switch-
gear room and six other areas is currently under review by NRR.
For those areas
where compliance with Appendix R is currently required, four (4) potential vio-
lations were identified. These include:
the control room Halon system test failed
to meet the design basis; failure to demonstrate that cooldown could be accom-
plished using the steam generator vents if the atmospheric dump valves are
unavailable; inadequate breaker coordination setting procedures and inadequate
emergency lighting. One potential deviation was identified relating to a previous
commitment to lock open breakers for certain Reactor Coolant System Loop Bypass
Valves. Three items remained unresolved at the end of the inspection.
Details
of these deficiencies are discussed in the enclosed inspection report.
The deviation is set forth in the Notice of Deviation enclosed herewith as
Appendix A.
You are requested to respond to the enclosed Notice, and in preparing
your response, you should follow the instructions specified therein.
The NRC plans to hold a meeting in the near future with your staff in Region I to
discuss the results of this inspection, the potential violations and the devia-
tion. NRC enforcement actions relating to the potential violations will be
deferred pending the outcome of this meeting.
Your corrective actions regarding the identified deficiencies should not be
delayed pending either a future NRC inspection or further action by the NRC
Region I office.
