Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection Report No. 50-220/86-13

This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. G. Napuda of this

office on September 10-12 and 15-19,1986, at Nine Mlle Point Unit 1, Oswego,

New York and your corporate offices in Syracuse, New York, of activities

authorized by NRC License No. DPR-63 and to the discussions of our findings

held by Mr. Napuda with Mr. T. Lempges and other members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined caring this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

Inspection report which is enclosed with this letter. Withir, 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, we are concerned that the control for

your operations, surveillance, maintenance and modification activities may be

inadequate. Similar concerns were also identified in recent NRC Region I

inspections (50-410/86-61, 50-220/86-07, 86-16 and 86-17) of both Units 1 and

2. The findings of the attached inspection report along with the findings of

NRC inspection 50-410/86-61, 50-220/86-16 and 86-17 will be the subject of

future enforcement conference. We will contact you, separately to set up a

mutually agreeable date for this conference.

The need for and nature of appropriate enforcement action relative to the

issues identified in the enclosed report will be considered after this

conference and will be the subject of separate correspondence at a later time.

With regard to your actions for control of vendor technical information

(discussed in Section 4.2 of the enclosed report), we believe that your current

1988-1989 schedule for completion of vendor technical manual validation and

.spproval is not responsive to Generic Letter 83-28. You are therefore

requested to reevaluate your planning in this regard and advise this office in

writing of your actions to expedite the validation process.
