Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. R. E. Baer and Dr. J. B.

Nicholas of this office during the period February 6-10, 1989, of activities

authorized by NRC Operating Licenses NPF-76 and NPF-78 for Units 1 and 2 of the

South Texas Project Electrical Generating Station, and to the discussion of our

findings with Mr. G. E. Vaughn and other members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection on February 10, 1989.

Areas examined during the inspection included portions of your radioactive

waste management program. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of

selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with

personnel, and observations by the NRC inspectors. The inspection findings are

documented in the enclosed inspection report.

Within the scope of the inspection, no violations or deviations were

identified.

We have also examined actions you have taken toward resolving a previously

identified open item regarding calibration of effluent and process radiation

monitors. This matter was discussed during a telephone conversation on

February 14, 1989, between Mr. R. E. Baer of this office and Mr. G. L. Parkey

of your staff. Based on the results of this conversation, it is our

understanding that you will complete the primary calibration of all effluent

radiation monitors installed in Units 1 and 2 by July 1, 1989, and perform the

primary calibration of all Technical Specification process radiation monitors

installed in Units 1 and 2 by December 31, 1989.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to

discuss them with you.

Sincerely,

f*+
