Docket No. 50-346

Toledo Edison Company

ATTN: Mr. Donald Shelton

Vice President

Nuclear

Edison Plaza

300 Madison Avenue

Toledo, OH 43652

Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. Dennis Kubicki

and Joseph Ulie of the NRC on September 12-16 and October 11, 1988, of the fire

protection program at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station authorized by NRC

Operating 1.icense No. NPF-3, and to the discussion of our findings with yourself

and other menbers of your staff at the conclusion of the insp*ction. This

inspection involved a limited scope fire protection program m iew including

a followup review of actions taken by your staff to resolve previously

identified NRC findings.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

During this inspection, you identified that certain of your fire watch program

activities appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements, as described in the

enclosed Notice. You also identified that your contractor implementing fire

watch requirements was falsifying records and you terminated that contract. With

respect to this item, the inspection showed that actions had been taken to

correct the root cause of the identified examples of the violation and to

prevent recurrence. Our understanding of your corrective actions are described

in Paragraph 3 of the enclosed inspection report. Consequently, no reply to

this violation is required and we have no further questions regarding this

matter at this time. We generally do not cite licensee identified violations

meeting certain criteria; however, because of the nature and scope of these

deficienc'es, we are fonnally documenting this violation. The NRC will

continue to monitor your oversight of the fire watch program since this

program, in part, was one of the compensatory measures previously required

to permit plant restart for interim operation untti the Davis-Besse Plant's

confonnance to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R have been fully

accomplished.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Comission's regulations, a copy of this

letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
