SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/91-03)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. W. F. Smith and S. D. Butler
of this office during the period January 9 through February 19, 1991.
The
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Waterford Steam
Electric Station, Unit 3, facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. The areas
included plant status, onsite followup of events, monthly maintenance
observation, monthly surveillance observation, operational safety verification,
licensee event report followup, and preparation for refueling. Within these
areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of the
activities in progress.
Based on-the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to
be in violathn of NRC requirements, as specified in the report and in the
enclosed Noti e of Violation (Notice). We are concerned about the violation
cited in the enclosed Notice because of a similar violation on June 21, 1990,
when a postmodification retest procedure for the control room air conditioning
system was implemented without the required reviews by the plant operations
review conuittee. Your corrective action, which was completed by
December 31, 1990, did not appear to have been effective in preventing a repeat
violation on January 15, 1991. We are also concerned about the two noncited
violations because they indicate inattention to detail on the part of
engineering and technical support personnel in the areas of surveillance
testing and design changes. The actions you are continuing to take to improve
human perfomance at Waterford 3, and the actions you have taken to correct the
specifics, were found to be adequate. Ther^ fore, these licensee-identified
violations are not being cited because the m :ttria specifSd in Section V.G.
of the NRC's Enforcement Policy were satisfied.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing jour response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

ac"Ons you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
. Notice, including your proposed corrective actions ano the resLits of future-
inspections, the NRC'will detennine whether further NRC enfoi .ement is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory rquirements.
One unresolved item was identified in paragraph 3.2, regarding conditions found
,
-in the steam bypass control system that may have placed the plant outside of
its design basis. An unresolved item is a. matter about which more information
'is required to ascertain whether it is an acceptable item, a deviation, or a
violation.-
-
~ We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously
identified inspection findings. The status of these items is identified in
paragraph 7. of the enclosed report.
The response directed'by this letter and the acconipanying Notice is-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.
Sincerely,
