SUBJECT: NRC INTEGRATED INSPbCTION REPORT 50-352/99-04, 50-353/99-04

Dear Mr. Rainey:

~

l

On July 12,1999, the NRC completed an inspection of routine activities at your Limerick

Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.

We concluded that your staff continued to operate both units safely. Nevertheless, we note that

several personnel errors are documented in this inspection report. In particular, one personnel

!

error caused an unintended automatic reactor shutdown. Two other personnel errors resulted in

j technical specification surveillance activities not being performed when required, one of which

resulted in a violation as described below.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one violation of NRC

requirements occurred. The violation involved the late performance of an off-gas grab sample

surveillance and was the result of a personnel erretr. This violation is being treated as a Non-

Cited Violation (NCV), consistent'with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. -This NCV is

described in the enclosed inspection report. If you contest the violation or severity level of this

NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the

basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,

Washington DC 20555-0001, with a copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the

Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555-0001 and the NRC Resident inspector at the Limerick Generating Station.
