Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. W. F. Smith and T. R. Staker
of this office during the period September 16 through October 15, 1987, of
activities authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-38 for the Waterford Steam
'i
Electric Station, Unit 3, and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. R. P. Barkhurst and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included followup of previously identified
items, licensee event report followup, plant status, monthly maintenance
observation, monthly surveillance observation, engineered safety feature system
walkdown, operational safety verification, onsite followup of events, and
verification of containment integrity. 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.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in
violation of NRC requirements. Consequently, you are required to respond to
these violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of
Federal Regulations.
The violation described in this report involve several examples of procedures
that were not being followed as written.
The NRC recognizes that some
immediate corrective actions such as training of various personnel were
completed during this inspection.
However, the number of violations may be
indicative of a more symptomatic problem. While the safety significance of
each individual violation may be considered minor, the violations may
collectively represent weaknesses in the adequacy of some Waterford 3
procedures and in the controls that should ensure that procedures are written
so that they can be followed. The NRC will continue to evaluate efforts taken
at Waterford 3 to achieve the level of procedural compliance and the attention
to detail necessary to assure NRC requirements are satisfied.
We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously
identified inspection findings. The stal.us of these items is identified in
paragraph'2'of the enclosed report.
