SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-382/99-06 } d

0 f

Dear Mr. Dugger:

This refers to the inspection conducted on April 5 to 9,1999, at the Waterford Steam Electric

(

Station, Unit 3 facility. The purpose of the inspection was to followup on issues identified during I

i

an architect engineering inspection documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-382/98-201. The * #

i

enclosed report presents the results of this inspection. Ig

The team determined that your personnel had, with only one exception, adequately addressed t

each of the previously identified issues from the architect engineering inspection that were

reviewed. The team did not review the issue identified in the architect engineering report that ' h

,

'

related to the effects of tornadoes on equipment located on the roof; this issue is being

reviewed in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. In addition to those items from the

architect engineering inspection, the team reviewed other previously identified issues. j

i

As a result of you providing us with a response for each of the items discussed in the architect b L

engineering report, the team was able to review your position and actions prior to arriving on h]'

site. The team found the information provided in the response to have been thorough, detailed, j

and sufficient to address many of the issues without requiring significant onsite review. '

, g

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that three violations of NRC l

a

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 of 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 IV, and the

Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555-0001, and the resident inspector at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 ,

facility.

One unresolved item was identified concerning your ability to demonstrate that adequate flows

could be developed to meet design requirements when total loop uncertainties (e.g., process L

fluid density, system flow resistance, total instrument loop uncertainties, etc.) were considered
