Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. W. G. Rogers  !

. and M. E. Parker of this office on June 9 through July 20, 1987, of activities

at Fermi 2, authorized by Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 and to the

discussion of our findings with Mr. R. S. Lenart at the conclusion of.the  !

o inspection.

i-

'

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies. areas examined during

(i

"

the-inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and s' i

interviews.with personnel.

]

During this inspection', certain of your activities appeared to be in violation. t

of NRC requirements'as described in the enclosed Appendix. These violations y l

have been carefully reviewed with respect to the recent civil penalty involving #

surveillance program deficiencies proposed on May 12, 1987, and your June 12,

1987 response. to the violations involved in that proposal. Consideration was

also given to combining the violations described in the enclosed Notice where 's

surveillance were not completed within the required time constraints. A

decision was made to separate those issues due to the varied causes of the o

violations as perceived by NRC.

'

i

Our overall evaluation is that while the corrective actions described in the ',

June 12, 1987 response to the civil penalty appeared adequate, looking beyond (

the instances where personnel error was involved, we are of the view that the '

overall problems in this area were deeper and more varied than our original

conclusions. We are also of the view, based on the results of this inspection,

that you should reassess the scope of your' surveillance rewriting effort and

that further familiarization of operators with the administrative aspects of

successfully performing surveillance should be considered. s

With respect to Item 3 in the Notice of Violation, the inspection determined

that actions have been taken already, to correct the violation and to prevent

recurrence. Our understanding of the corrective actions are described in

paragraph 4.b of the enclosed inspection report and includes evaluations

contained in LER 87.-019 and your June 12, 1987 response to the civil penalty.

No additional. response is required for this item.
