SUBJECT: PERRY. INSPECTION REPORT 50-440/99009(DRP)

l

Dear Mr. Wood:

On August 25,1999, the NRC completed a routine safety inspection at the Perry Nuclear Power

Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

During this inspection period, the overall conduct of activities at the Perry facility was

.

conservative, with a continuing focus on safety. Routine maintenance and surveillance

activities were properly coordinated and performed per approved procedures. Engineering

department personnel promptly addressed operability questions during the inspection period

and provided good support to maintenance and test activities. There was one instance where a

severe thunderstorm waming was issued for the county, but it was not received by control room

personnel and appropriate compensatory actions were not taken. Corrective actions were

promptly implemented and the required compensatory actions were taken in a timely manner

after subsequent severe thunderstorm warnings were received.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one violation of NRC

requirements occurred. This violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV),

consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. This NCV is described in the subject

inspection report. If you contest the violation or severity level of the NCV, you should provide a

response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to

the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and the Director, Office of

Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001.
