Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
INSPECTION NO. 50-334/86-12
Enclosed is the report of the team inspection conducted by Mr. R. C. Wilson and
other NRC representatives on June 9-13, 1986, at Beaver Valley Power Station,
Uni t No.1.
The team's findings were discussed with members of your staff at
the conclusion of the inspection. The inspection reviewed your implementation
of a program as required by 10 CFR 50.49 for establishing and maintaining the
qualification of electric ec;uipment within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of examinations of selected procedures and
records, interviews with personnel, and sbservations by the inspectors.
The inspection determined that you have implemented a program to meet the
requirements of 10 CFR 50.49. Six deficiencies in your program implementation,
summarized jn Appendix A, are classified as Potential Enforcement / Unresolved
Items and will be referred to the NRC Region I office for further action.
The most significant deficiency involves failure to demonstrate qualification
of Continental silicone rubber insulated instrument cable because no performance
test data were available for LOCA conditior.s. Other deficiencies involved
failure to show seismic acceptability for Rosemount transmitter installations
ard to fully documert qualification for the Victoreen High Range Radiation
Monitor, a Limitorque valve operator, a Barton transmitter, and certain types
of Rockbestos cable. One additional concern is classified as an Open Item,
and a future NRC inspection will review your actions concerning it.
Details
of all the deficiencies and concerns are discussed in the enclosed inspection
report.

Your letter of July 21, 1986 provides descriptions of actions you have taken
to address the Potential Enforcement / Unresolved Items. Preliminary review of
that letter indicates that, subject to verification in a followup inspection,
the Victoreen, Limitorque, Barton and Rockbestos concerns may be resolved and
you have made progress concerning the Continental and Rosemount deficiencies.
Completion of your corrective actions regarding the identified deficiencies
and concerns should not be delayed pending either a future NRC inspection or
further action by the NRC Region I office.
,
We are available to discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.

APPENDIX A
i
Potential Enforcement / Unresolved Items
As a result of the special equipment qualification inspection on June 9-13, 1986,
the following items have been referred to NRC Region I as Potential Enforcement /
Unresolved Items (paragraph references are to detailed portions of the inspection
report).
1.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and Section 5.2.5 of
the 00R Guidelines, at the time of the inspection Duquesne Light Company's
(DLC's) files did not adequately document qualification of Continental
cable because performance during accident-testing was not measured and
shown to be acceptable.
2.
Contrary to Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, at the time
of the inspection DLC's installation of two Rosemount 1154 transmitters
was not seismically qualified because the installation differed from the
tested configuration and the effects of differences were not adequately
analyzed.
3.
Contrary to paragraph (j) of 10 CFR 50.49, at the time of the inspection,
DLC's installation of the Victoreen High Range Radiation Monitor was not
qualified because potentially high thermal-induced leakage current in
system cable precluded meeting the instrument performance requirements.
4.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and Sections 5.2.2,
5.2.4, and 7.0 of the D0R Guidelines, at the time of the inspection, DLC
did not adequately demonstrate qualification of internal wiring in one
Limitorque operator because the wiring was not identified.
5.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (d)(3) of 10 CFR 50.49, at the time of the
inspection, DLC's installation of one Barton 764 transmitter was not
qualifted for its elevation below flood level.
6.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49, at the time of the
inspection DLC did not adequately demonstrate qualification of Rockbestos
cable with compound KXL 780 insulation, which may have been used in the
plant.
