Gentlemen:
This refers to a special inspection conducted by Mr. R. G. Tayl~or arid ~ other
members of the Region IV staff during the period April 14-18, 1986, of
activities authorized by NRC Construction Permits CPPR-128 and 129 for the
_
South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, and to the discussion of our findings with
key members of your staff during the course of the inspection and with
Mr. Scott Head of your staff by telephone conversation on April 22, 1986.
-
The specific areas examined during the inspection were based on your response
dated April 2,1986, to the Construction Appraisal Team (CAT) report, dated
February 5, 1986, (50-498/85-21; 50-499/85-19).
In your response you provided.
new information, not available to the CAT team, and requested consideration of
this information in the NRC evaluation of the CAT Potential Enforcement
Actions (PEAS). Within this area, the inspection consisted of selective
examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel,
and observations by the ir.spectors. The inspection encompassed the new
information and your initial corrective actions on the identified issues. The
inspection findings are documented in the enclosed inspection report.
During this inspection, based on additional information, it was determined
that 2 of the 7 PEAS (4 and 7) identified in the CAT report should be
withdrawn. However, the NRC staff remains concerned, with regard to these
PEAS, in that HL&P could not provide needed information during the course of
the CAT inspection to allow the CAT to conclude that HL&P knew the status of
equipment before it was installed. Portions of 3 other PEAS (2, 3b, 6d,
and 69) have also been withdrawn. The NRC inspectors concluded that
i
10 CFR 50, Appendix B criteria were violated in two cases (PEAS 1 and a
portion of 5) which are different from those originally identified. These
findings are documented in the enclosed inspection report. During this
inspection, the NRC team also reviewed your evaluations of the inspection
finding relative to flow restrictions orifices identified in NRC Inspection
Report 50-498/85-24; 50-499/85-21.
The proposed enforcement action resulting from the NRC inspection efforts
identified above is being sent to you under separate cover.
