Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. R. Boardman of this office
i
and three consultants during the periods February 3-7 and March 3-7, 1986, of
activities authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-40 for the River Bend
Station, and to the discussion of our findings with you, and other members of
your staff, at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included the River Bend Station
i
maintenance program, implementation of the maintenance program in the
electrical, instrumentation and control and mechanical disciplines, and the
licensee's Quality Assurance program (Maintenance). Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector. The
inspection findings are documented in the enclosed inspection report.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in
violation of NRC requirements.
Consequently, you are required to respond to
this violation, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201
of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal
Regulations.
Your response should be based on the specifics contained in the
Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter, and should include your actions
to assure that the identified procedural inadequacies have not adversely
affected equipment and systems that could affect nuclear safety.
Although certain of your activities were found to be in violation of NRC
requirements, the NRC inspector observed a positive philosophy of technical
excellence on the part of senior station management.
This philosophy appeared
to be the reason that procedural inadequacies did not result in identified
hardware deficiencies.
This upper management involvement, with its resultant
positive influence on plant and technical support staffs, is commendable.
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 Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96- 11.
