SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-352/99-01,50-353/99-01

Dear Mr. Rainey:

On March 1,1999, the NRC completed a 7-week inspection at Limerick Generating Station. The I

enclosed report contains the details of that inspec' ion. l

l

Limerick Units 1 and 2 were operated safely during the period. Your staffs conduct of activities I

during this period was characterized by safe and conservative decision making. In particular

your staffs actions to perform an internal valve inspection to confirm operability of HV-087-1208,

a primary containment isolation valve, demonstrated conservative decision making and a focus

on early identification and resolution of equipment problems. Also, your staff continued to j

implement effective Radiological Environmental Monitoring and Meteorological Monitoring

Programs.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one violation of NRC

requirements occurred. This violation is being treated as Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent

with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described in the subject inspection

report. If you contest the violation or severity level of the NCV, you should provide a response

within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with a
