SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99900404/98-01
Dear Mr. Dillion:
On January 6-7, and 12-13,1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted an inspection at your Cheswick, Pennsylvania, facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection was performed to: (1) observe tests that Westinghouse Nuclear Services Division (WNSD) was conducting to determine the root cause of the failure of a DS-416 type circuit breaker to open on December 18,1997, at New York Power Authority's indian Point Unit 3 nuclear power plant (IP-3); (2) review the implementation of your quality assurance program relative to the reporting requirements of Part 21 of Title 10, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 21) relative to circuit breaker problems reported in the past; and (3) review records related to the refurbishment of DB-50 circuit breakers for Consolidated Edison of New York's Indian Point Unit 2 (IP 2).
During the inspection, the NRC inspectors obseived that Westinghouse personnel at the Cheswick plant were knowledgeable and competent in the performance of theirjobs related to the inspection items above. However, even though the refurbishment records for IP-2 adequately documented the activities performed, the inspectors found instances where the responsible individuais did not complete requisite documentation for tha work they performed.
Additionally, the inspectors identified five unresolved items for which the inspectors require additional information from WNSD to determine whether the issues in question are acceptable items, nonconformances or violations.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR).
Sincerely,
