Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report Nos: 50-334/36-12, 50-334/88-21
This letter refers to equipment qualification inspections conducted on
June 9-13, 1986 and May 9-13, 1988 at the Beaver Valley 1 Power Plant.
The
in vection reports were sent to you on October 31, 1986 and August 3, 1983
respectively.
Based on the results of these inspections it appears that certain of your
'
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as
set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
At the
time of these inspections, several items (50-334/86-12-03 and 50-334/88-21-02)
were identified as potential enforcement i* ems.
Based on subsequent informa-
tion furnished by you at the Enforcement Jenference on August 12, 1988, the
NRC has categorized these as a Severity Level IV violation in accordance with
the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
With regard to the violation relating to unqualified
wire in Motor Operated Valves (MOV) (50-334/88-21-02), it appears that certain
of the MOVs with deftetent wire did not have to be on the EQ master list at the
time of the inspection. These MOVs are associated with satisfying Regulatory
Guide 1.97 guidance. However, it 15 noted that the identification of these
deficiencies lead to your staff's identification of unqualified wire in 11
MOVs in the charging and safety injection system. The NRC notes that this
'
wire issue, which was identified by the NRC in May 1988, was not evaluated
under the n.odified EQ enforcement policy set forth in Generic letter 88-07
because that policy applies only to those violations that existed prior to
l
November 30, 1985, which were identified prior to completion of the first
round of EQ inspections in mid April 1988. One potential violation discussed
,
at the enforcement conference (50-334/86-12-01) relating to the qualification
of Continental Silicone Rubber insulated cable is no longer considered to be a
violation.
I.i addition to the above, se identified deficiencies in Duquesne Light's
handling of the Victoreen HRRM cable assembly qualification.
Based on
r
informaticn provided at the enforcement conference, we determined that you
were aware of generic qualification problems with the cable assembly prior
4
to November 1985. However, it does not appear that you had analyzed the

magnitude of potential HRRM errors at that time or that you had made your
operators specifically aware of these deficiencies to guide them in their
use.
In addition, there is no indication that you requested NRC relief from
the accuracy requirements of RG 1.47 as they apply to the HRRM. With regard
to the unidentified wires in the MOVs, we determined that a number of these
deficiencies were a result of inadequate training of the individuals performing
the first round of MOV EQ inspections and inade wate inspection criteria.
You are required to respond to this letter.
In preparing your response you
should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
In addition to your response to
the violation, you should address the reason for the above deficiencies and
your actions to prevent a recurrence of these deficiencies.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying notice are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paper Wo.k Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
