Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by an NRC team led by
Mr. D. D. Chamberlain of this office during the period March 13-17, 1989, of
activities authorized by NRC Operating Licenses NPF-76 and NPF-78 for the South
Texas Project, Units 1 and 2;respectively, and to the discussion of our
findings with you and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
This special team inspection was an Operational Readiness Assessment
Team (0 RAT) inspection that was conducted to determine the readiness of Unit 2
for full power licensing.
Since the South Texas Project operational programs
have been evaluated during previous NRC inspections and previous operational
readiness assessments, this inspection focused on direct observation of
operational activities.
Areas examined during this inspection included review
of previously identified findings, control room observations, shift turnover
observations, plant tours, maintenance observations, surveillance observations,
safety system walkdowns, system punchlist reviews, operator staffing, and
management oversight of operational activities.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in
violation of NRC requirements.
Consequently, you are required to respond to
this violation, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201
of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal
Regulations.
Your response should be based on the specifics contained in the
Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.
Subsequent to this inspection, a conference call was conducted on March 23,
1989, between Mr. D. D. Chamberlain and other members of the NRC Region IV
staff, and Mr. W. H. Kinsey and other members of your staff.
As a result of
this conference call, Houston Lighting & Power described certain corrective
actions to resolve the ORAT findings.
These corrective actions adequately
addressed the NRC concerns while awaiting the licensee's written response.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this
letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed in the
NRC Public Document Room.
