Docket No.

ATTN: Mr. James M. Lydon
Chief Operating Officer

Boston, Massachusetts 02199
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-293/86-36
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. A. Krasopoulos of
this office on October 20-24, 1986 of activities authorized by NRC License
No. DPR-35 and to the discussion of our findings held by Mr. A. Krasopoulos
with Mr. E. Pedersen of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspec-
tion Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that two of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These
violations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy). You are required to respond to
this letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions
in Appendix A.
In total, the inspection identified a number of significant deficiencies in
your Fire Protection Program. These include (1) a significant backlog of
maintenance work to be performed on the fire protection equipment; (2) a sub-
stantial reliance on the fire watches as compensation for degraded fire
inspection equipment; (3) fire watches not performing their assigned duties in
several instances; and (4) inadequate participation by fire brigade members in
the required training. These deficiencies taken together, and considering the
fact that most of these problems were previously identified, are indications of
inadequate management supervision of the Fire Protection Program.
In your
response to the enclosed Notice you should address your actions to improve your
performance related to each of the four significant deficiencies in your Fire
Protection Program.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
