Gentlemen:
This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. G. Shear of this
office on May 22-25, and June 14, 1989, of activities at Point Beach Nuclear
Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 authorized by NRC Facility Operating Licenses-
Nn. DPR-24 and No. DPR-27, and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. J. J. Zach and others of your staff 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.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this
inspection. However, we are concerned that the Exercise Weakness from the
March 15,1989 exercise (0 pen Item No. 266/89008-02) was not adequately
addressed by you. Your letter of May 10, 1989, in response to Inspection
Reports No. 50-266/89008 and No. 50-301/89008 indicated that you did not
believe that the identified Exercise Weakness was a generic problem and
therefore you did not propose to take corrective action addressing this
aspect of the weakness. During this inspection, as a result of walkthroughs
and interviews of PBNP staff, it appears that this problem is of a more
generic nature than you indicate. The walkthroughs and interviews of the
Health Physics and Chemistry personnel indicated that their understanding of
the areas related to the Exercise Weakness was no better than the individuals
involved in the March 15, 1980 exercise. We are concerned that your training
program may not be training personnel as well as intended.
Please respond to
this letter within 45 days with corrective actions planned or taken to address
this concern regarding the Exercise Weakness.
