Docket No. 50-29
Yankee Atomic Electric Company
ATTN:
Mr. L. H. Heider
Vice President of Operations
1671 Worcester Road
Framingham, Massachusetts 01701
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-29/86-08
This transmits the June 10 - October 6, 1986 resident inspection findings by Mr.
H. Eichenholz of this office at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Rowe, Massachu-
setts. Those findings were based on observation of activities, interviews, inde-
pendent measurements, and documents review, and have been discussed with Mr.
N. St. Laurent of your staff.
Based upon the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities
was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. This violation has been cate-
gorized by severity level in accordance with the General Statement of Policy and
Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement
Policy 1986). You are required to respond to this letter, and in preparing your
response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
The noted violation deals with improper operator actions in opening main coolant
system loop bypass valves and failure to establish a written procedure to ensure
the performance of a required surveillance test. We are concerned that these de-
ficiencies represent weaknesses in your operator training and surveillance testing
programs.
This also refers to your letter dated September 18, 1986, in response to our let-
ters dated July 11 and August 9, 1986, regarding NRC Inspection Report No. 50-29/
86-09.
Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive actions, as
discussed during the Region I Enforcement Conference held July 22, 1986, and as
documented in your letter.
Those actions will be examined during a future inspec-
tion of your licensed program.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notices are not subject
to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1986, PL 96-511.
Your cooperation with us in these matters is appreciated.
Sincerely,
gmal. SiSUS
