PILGRIM INSPECTION REPOPT NO. 50-293/99-02
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
This refers to the inspection conducted on March 8,1999, to April 18,1999, at the Pilgrim
Nuclear Power facility. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
During the six weeks covered by thie inspection period, your conduct of activities at the Pilgrim

facility was generally characterized by safe plant operations. This was especially evident when
. operatcrs promptly declared the "C" main steam isolation valve inoperable when an anomaly
was revealed during testing.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two Severity Level IV
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
involved: (1) inadvertent movement of several control rods in violation of licensee procedures,
and (2) work package errors in that the wrong parts were issued to the field in violation of
licensee procedures. - These NCVs are further described in the subject inspection report. If you
contest the violation (s) or severity level of these NCVs, 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
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region 1; and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United
