Inspection Report No. 50-271/89-04
This letter refers to the routine safety inspection of your Fire Protection
Program conducted by Mr. A. Krasopoulos of this office on March 20 -
March 23, 1989 at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Station, Vernon, Vermont.
Mr. Krasopoulos discussed the findings of the inspection with Mr. J. Pelletier
at the conclusion of the inspection. The findings of the inspection were
further discussed in a telephone conversation between Dr. W. Johnston of NRC
Region I and Mr. R. Pagodin of your staff on April 21, 1989.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection
Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection
consisted of a selective review of procedures and records, interviews with
personnel, and observations made by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities
was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
The violation has been
categorized by severity level in accordance with the " General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.
You are required to respond to this letter within 30 days and in preparing your
response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.
This violation refers
to the operability of the carbon dioxide suppression systems in the cable vault
and in the diesel fire pump day tank room.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
