Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by liessrs. W. F. Smith and T. R. Staker
of this office during the period February 1-28, 1989, of activities authorized
by NRC Operating License NPF-38 for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3,
and to the discussion of our findings with fir. R. P. Barkhurst and other
'
members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included plant status, monthly maintenance
observation, operational safety verification, onsite followup of events,
monthly surveillance observation, and engineered safety feature walkdown.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of
procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
observations by the NRC inspectors. The inspection findings are documented in
the enclosed inspection report.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in
violation of NRC requirements.
Consequently, you are required to respond to
these violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of
l
Federal Regulations. Your response should be based on the specifics contained
in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.
We are particularly concerned about your failure to comply with the Technical
Specification action statements associated with the inoperability of an
,
emergency diesel generator (EDG) when the supporting component cooling water
J
system for the EDG is taken out of service for maintenance. This apparent
failure to comply with your Technical Specifications will be the subject of a
meeting between you and NRC Region IV at the Region IV office. The schedule
for this meeting will be established in a separate letter,
i
Additionally, we are concerned about the incident on February 15, 1989, where
j
i
I
two of your employees operated a danger tagged valve contrary to the governing
i
procedure. This is the second instance in one month where this has occurred.
The first was identified during the maintenance team inspection conducted late
January and early February 1989.
It does not appear that you have adecuately
trained all site personnel to comply with all the provisions of the equipment
