NRC INSPECTION NO: 50-213/98-02
(Closure of Confirmatory Action Letter 1-97-007)
,
Dear " Mellor:
l~
L
Tc.s nors to the onsite safety inspection conducted by Messrs. R. L. Nimitz and
I
W. R. Raymond of this office during the period March 16-20 and 25-27,1998, at the
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Station, Haddam, Connecticut, and to the discussions
of the findings held by Mr. Nimitz with Mr. Mellor on March 27,1998. The inspection was
continued in the NRC Region I office through April 27,1998, to review documentation
provided. This also refers to your letters dated March 7 and May 30,1997,in response to
NRC Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) No.1-97-07, dated March 4,1997, and to an
April 29,1998, call between Mr. G. Bouchard of your staff and Mr. J. White'of this office.
Areas reviewed during the inspection were important to safety and are discussed in the
enclosed NRC Inspection report. The principal focus of the inspection was the review of
the implementation of commitments outlined in your response to the CAL. The inspectors
!
also evaluated the adequacy and effectiveness of your radiological controls for repair of the
j.
refueling water storage tank.
Based on the results of this inspection and previous inspections of your radiological
i
controls program, the NRC has found that all the commitments listed in the CAL have been
met. Further, NRC review of the performance of your organization during the repair of the
RWST and the performance observed during removal of a section of the reactor coolant
'"'
system letdown piping (Reference NRC Inspection No. 50-213/97-10) indicates that your
organization can effectively implement your radiation protection program and safely
l
conduct significant radiological work. Notwithstanding, the NRC will continue to inspect
your performance during your decommissioning efforts.
l
No further response is required regarding the CAL.-
