support the emergency feedwater (EFW) system performance during normal and

accident:or abnormal conditions.

The overall performance capability of the EFW system was assessed as good with

no operability concerns identified with this system. Based on the results of

a this inspection, one violation was identified. This violation is of concern

hN because the examples were indicative of your staff failing to pay attention to
