SUBJECT:
DAVIS-BESSE INSPECTION REPORT 50-346/99009(DRP)
Dear Mr. Campbell:'
'
.
On August 2,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at your Davis-Besse site. The enclosed
'
report presents the results of that inspection.
~ The plant was operated in a conservative manner throughout the inspection period. The
decision to ensure the functionality of the startup feedwater pump after receiving information
that it would provide a substantid benefit to mitigate the consequences of a loss of feedwater
accident was a good example of conservative decision-making. Examples of inattention-to-
detail by operators concerning the reasons for computer point alarms and by electrical
maintenance personnel during work on heat trace equipment detracted from the otherwise -
good performance during this inspection period.
Based on the results"of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of NRC
requirements occurred. These violations, which were reported to the NRC in licensee event
reports, are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Appendix C of the
Enforcement PolicyL These NCVs are described in the subject inspection report. If you contest
- the violations or the severity level of these NCVs, 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 copies to the
Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
