Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. R. C. Stewart, L. E. Ellershaw,

and W. B. Jones of this office during the period May 1-5 and 15-19,1989, of

activities authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-47 for River Bend Station,

and to.the discussion of our findings with you and other members cf your staff

at the conclusion of.the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included the River Bend inservice testing

program for pumps and valves, witnessing of welding activities involved with

repairs to the service water system, and review of your activities resulting

from your self-initiated safety system functional inspection (SSFI). 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 appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements.

In our 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

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

our Region IV offices in Arlington, Texas. During this conference, you will be

given an opportunity to discuss Gulf States Utilities' view of these apparent

,

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

these apparent violations, including corrective actions you have taken or plan

to take.

'

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to

discuss them with you.

Sincerely,

Driginal Signed By,

J. L. Milho

James L. Elhoan, Director

Division of Reactor Projects
