Docket No. 50-54
Cintichem, Inc.
ATTN: Mr. James J. McGovern
Plant Manager
P.O. Box 816
Tuxedo, New York 10987
Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRC Combined Inspection Report No. 50-54/88-03
This transmits the findings of the routine safety inspection conducted by Mssrs.
N. Dudley and D. Wallace of this office on September 6-9, 1988 at the Sterling
Forest Research Reactor and to discussions of our findings held by Mr. Dudley
with yourself and Mr. Ruzicka at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I
Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations for procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, 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.
The vio-
lations concern the fact ' hat some calibrations required by Technical Specifi-
cations and some routine 6aintenance activities are not being controlled by
approved procedures as required by your license. Additional concerns were raised
as to the lack of progress in the development of a "better controlled" maintenance
program and the lack of control and review of facility procedures and surveil-
lance tests. We are concerned with the number of activities being conducted
without management review and control, and recommend that you review section 6
of the Technical Specifications to assure compliance with all regJlatory
requirements. You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing your
response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
This letter acknowledges receipt of your letter dated September 15, 1988
concerning NSC review of procedures. Discussion of the content of your letter
is included in the enclosed Inspection Report.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
The response directed by this
letter and the accompanying Notice is not subject to the clearance procedures
of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reducti m
Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
