Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. J. G. Luehman, H. F. Bundy,
and T. R. Staker of this office during the period June 1-30, 1986, of activities
authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-38 for Waterford Steam Electric Station,
Unit 3, and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. R. P. Barkhurst and other
members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included plant status, Licensee Event
Report (LER) followup, monthly surveillance, routine inspection, licensee
followup on previously identified items, monthly maintenance, potential generic
problems, license conditions, and IE Bulletins.
Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors. These
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
these violations, 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.
The timely and accurate processing of station modifications at your facility has
been an identified concern for some time. The failure to update drawings and
procedures has already led to one group of events in which unplanned radiological
releases having minor environmental and radiation exposure consequences occurred.
The new example of a failure to properly update plant drawings discussed in the
attached NRC inspection report points toward inadequacies in the actions your
staff previously committed. to implementing in order to address the original NRC
concerns.
Efforts to upgrade the facility's station modification program must,
on a priority basis, address procedures and drawings that support recently
completed and future modifications.
Also, during this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities
appeared to deviate from a commitment made to the NRC. This item and reference
to the commitment is identified in the enclosed Notice of Deviation. You are
requested to respond to this deviation in writing. Your response should be
based on the specifics contained in the Notice of Deviation enclosed with this
letter.
