Boston, Massachusetts 02199

Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection Report No. 50-293/86-34

This letter refers to the routine safety inspection (50-293/86-34) conducted by

Dr. M. McBride and Mr. J. Lyash of this office on September 16, 1986 to October

20, 1986, at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Areas

examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection

Report which is enclosed with this letter. We identified one violation of NRC

requirements as discussed in the enclosed Notice of Violation. Please respond

to the Notice within thirty days from receipt of this letter.

We are concerned that your initial followup to fire protection and security

issues identified during the inspection was not comprehensive.

In each case,

immediate actions by your staff were prompt, but limited.

Comprehensive

actions were only taken af ter prompting by our inspectors. Additional examples

of limited response to previous problems include the lack of action on adverse

trends identified in the condition of low pressure emergency cooling equipment

(section 2.0 of our report) and continuing problems with surveillance test

scheduling (section 3.c of our report). These areas deserve your attention.

The response directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice is 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.

Appendix A to this letter and a section of thr. enclosed inspection report

contain details of your security program that have been determined to be

exempt from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 73.21 (Safeguards

Information). Therefore, they will not be placed in the NRC Public Document

Room and will receive limited distribution. This letter and the remaining

sections of the inspection report will be placed in the Public Document Room,

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a).

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Nicinal : w
