SUBJECT:
DAVIS-BESSE INSPECTION REPORT 50-346/98005(DRP) AND
Dear Mr. Wood:
On May 12, i998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Davis-Besse site. The enclosed
report presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection mainly reviewed activities conducted during the eleventh refueling outage.
Generally, these activities were well planned and executed, and shutdown risk controls for
evolutions were effective. During the reactor shutdown for the outage, the operators effectively
responded to an unexpected failure of a purification demineralized. Engineering, maintenance,
and health physics support was also effective during the outage.
However, during the outage several events involving crane and rigging opervions inside
containment occurred that jeopardized equipment and personnel safety. We understand that
station personnel are assessing the collective significance of the events.
In addition, one violation of NRC requirements was identified during the inspection. The violation
pertains to inadequate procedures for the control of temporary manifold isolation valves. This
violation is of concem because adequate instructions were not provided to ensure all valves
l
were properly manipulated on a temporary manifold.
[
l
/
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the circumstances surrounding the
I
'
violation are described in detail in the enclosed report. Please note that you are required to
respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when
preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine whether further
enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
