Docket No. 50-309

Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company

ATTN: Mr. Charles D. Frizzle

President

83 Edison Drive

_

Augusta, Maine 04336

Subject: NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-309/88-24

Gentlemen:

This transmits the December 20, 1988 through January 30, 1989, routine inspec-

tion findings of Mr. C. Holden and Mr. R. Freudenberger at the Maine Yankee

Atomic Power Plant, Wiscasset, Maine.

Those findings were based on observa-

tions of activities, interviews, and document reviews, and have been discussed

with Dr. Boulette of your staff.

7

Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed. Although the

inadvertent actuation of safety injection on December 22, 1988, had minimal

-

impact, we are concerned about this event since we view inadvertent actuations

as possible performance indicators.

Your review of this event appears exten-

sive and we will review your corrective actions in subsequent inspections.

~

Several concerns were identified with the implementation of the Fire Protection

Program; we will continue to monitor corrective actions which you are

implementing.

No reply to this letter is required.

Your continued cooperation with us in

this matter is appreciated.

Sincerely,

OHin!E sg.Rg gy
