Gentlemen:

I4 - This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. a. T. Howell- III of this office-

.

, License NPF-38 for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, and to the

discussion of our findings with Mr. D. E. Packer and other members of your-

staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined'during the inspection included the method and procedures used

for surveillance testing of the "B" high pressure safety injection (HPSI) pump,

the corrective maintenance activities associated with the repair of-the

"B" HPSI pump and pump motor bearings, and the investigation of the "B" HPSI

pump low recirculation flow condition. Within these areas, the inspection

consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative records and

intorviews with personnel. . The inspection findings are documented in the

enclosed inspection report.

. During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities' appeared

- to be.in violation of NRC requirements. In NRC's view, the issues underlying

these apparent' violations are significant in that they are related to the

reliability and operability of safety-related components and systems. . An i

. enforcement conference to discuss these issues will be held at a later date in

our Region IV office in Arlington, Texas. ' During this conference, you will

_

y

apparent violations and NRC concerns and what actions you deem necessary to

4

address _ these apparent violations, including corrective actions you have taken

or plan to take. Should you have any questions concerning this~ inspection, we

4

will.be pleased to discuss them with you.  ;
