Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection 50-334/87-07
This refers to the resident safety inspection by Messrs. J. Beall, F. Young and
S. Pindale on April 18 - June 4, 1987, at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit
1, Shippingport, Pennsylvania.
The inspection consisted of document reviews, in-
terviews and observation of activities.
The findings were discussed with you and
other members of your staff.
,
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activities
were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements.
Please respond to
these matters in accordance with the enclosed Appendix A.
Additionally, it has been noted that during the past five months (January - May,
1987), a nuuber of apparently unrelated events involving errors by personnel in
various station groups have occurred.
Specific examples include the failure to
perform a technical specification surveillance test, minor unplanned gaseous and
liquid releases, two auto AFW pump starts, several inadvertent ESF actuations and
the failure to make a timely required report.
While each event separately was
minor with respect to safety significance, collectively, they are cause for in-
creased concern in that the number and types of events may be an early indication
of an adverse trend in performance.
Therefore, in your response to this letter,
please include ycur assessment of the cause of these events and identify your cor-
rective actions.
The response directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are 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.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,
