Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Nos. 50-352/89-80 and 50-353/89-80
This letter refers to the special maintenance team inspection led by
Mr. L. J. Prividy of this of fice on January 30, 1989 to February '10,1989,
principally at the Limerick Generating Station, Unit 1, Limerick, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Prividy discussed the findings of the inspection with Mr. G. Leitch and
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection on
February 30, 1989.
Thr inspection team concluded that the Philadelphia Electric Company is
implementing an effective maintenance program at the Limerick Generating
Station. Overall , the material condition of the plant, the management involve-
ment in the maintenance work, the onsite technical support and controls for the
performance of maintenance, the experienct. and knowledge of maintenance personnel,
the documentation of maintenance activities, and the training programs for
maintenance personnel were considered to be good. The many strengths in the
maintenance program observed by the inspection team are indicative of your
efforts in the maintenance area. However, the team noted that additional
improvements could be made to address several observed weaknesses, especially
those in the technical support area.
Specific areas noted were:
(1) improved
communications are needed between offsite and onsite engineering and maintenance
personnel; (2) a proper solution is needed to the ESW piping corrosion problem
with particular emphasis toward ensuring the operability of safety related
equipment; (3) several weaknesses were identified in your QA/QC activities
regarding the level of QA/QC involvement in the ESW piping corrosion issue and
the deletion of QC witness points in certain maintenance procedures without
specific guidance; and (4) the operability of the HPCI room unit coolers.
The details of the specific problem areas or weaknesses that warrant your
,
further consideration are discussed in the report and are outlined in
Appendix 3.
We specifically request your written response within 45 days to
the foregoing items.
