Gentlemen:
i
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
i
,
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
inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
.
'
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
During-this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements as described in the enclosed Appendix. These violations
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
surveillance were not completed within'the required time constraints. A
decision was made to separate those issues due to the varied causes of the
violations as perceived by NRC.
Our overall evaluation is that while the corrective actions described in the
June 12, 1987 response to the civil penalty appeared adequate, locking beyond
'
the instances where personnel error was involved, we are of the v#ew that the
overall problems in this area were deeper and more varied than ohr original
conclusions. We are also of the view, based on the results of tnis
inspection, that you should reassess the scope of your surveillance rewriting
effort and that further familiarization of operators with the 7. administrative
aspects of successfully performing surveillance should be corsidered.
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.
