Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-271/87-06
This refers to the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Mr. W. J. Raymond
of this office on March 3 - April 6, 1987, at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power
Station, Vernon, Vermont.
The inspection consisted of observation of activities,
interviews with personnel and document reviews.
The results of the inspection are
described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report enclosed with this letter and were
discussed with Mr. J. P. Pelletier of your staff at the conclusion of the inspec-
tion.
We have also reviewed your response and the actions taken to correct the violation
brought to your attention in our letter dated February 6, 1987 (Inspection Report
86-25), concerning the failure to complete inservice testing in accordance with
ASME Section XI requirements.
After reviewing the additional information provided
in your response, we concluded that our initial assessment was proper and will
therefore stand.
This matter will be addressed further by separate correspondence
to determine what additional measures or actions may be required in addition to
those referenced in your March 12, 1987 letter.
Based on a discussion between our inspector and the Technical Support Superinten-
dent or. March 13, 1987, we note that you delayed the start of RHR wear ring in-
spections beyond March 1987 due to the need to process a relief request for meeting
the requirement of Technical Specification 4.7.A.3.
This oral notification meets
your commitment as stated in our letter to you dated February 6,1987 transmitting
Inspection Report 86-25.
We understand that the RHR pump inspections are now
scheduled to begin during the week of April 20, 1987.
Should you plan further
delays in inspections of these pumps beyond April, 1987, please let me know, in
writing, including the basis for the delays.
Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were identified.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice", a copy of this
letter and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
