Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-289/87-17
During the period from September 4, to October 2, 1987, members of NRC Region I
staff conducted routine safety inspections at your facility. We documented the
results of that inspection in the enclosed report. At the conclusion of the
inspection period, Mr. D. Johnson of my staff summarized the inspection
findings with you and other members of your staff.
l
With respect to the reactor trip of September 16, 1987, you are encouraged to
continue your efforts in reducing balance of plant trips that originate in the
secondary plant.
As we previously discussed, the NRC staff regards these trips
as challenges to reactor safety systems, and your efforts expended on increas-
ing the reliability of the balance of plant trip system are worthy of
additional attention.
This letter also, acknowledges the receipt of licensee internal correspondence
provided to our Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) on July 21, 1987,
which included an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the early
criticality experienced during the startup of June 24, 1987.
No response to this letter is required.
Thank you for your cooperation in
these matters,
j
Sincerely,
