SUBJECT:
PERRY INSPECTION REPORT 50-440/99002(DRP)
Dear Mr. Myers:
- On April 6,1999, the NRC completed a routine safety inspection at the Perry Nuclear Power
Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During this 6-week inspection period, the conduct of activities at the Perry facility was
characterized by generally safe and conservative plant operations. A procedural violation by an
operator during a response to a hydraulic control unit trouble alarm was immediately entered
into your corrective action program after which corrective actions were promptly implemented.
Operators were well-prepared for the refueling outage 7 plant shutdown and, while the
inspectors noted that operator three-way communication expectations were not consistently
- implemented, the minor equipment challenges encountered during the shutdown were
effectively handled.
.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of NRC
. requirements occurred. These violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs),
consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the
- subject inspection report. -If you contest the violation or severity level of these NCVs, you should
provide a response within 30 days of the date cf this inspection report, with the basis for your
denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC
-
20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and the Director, Office of
Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
