Ms. Nancy Moon 4A11 Taylor Valley Road Cincinnatus, New York 130A0
Dear Ms. Moon:
This letter serves as a followup to our telephone conversation on October 9, 1991.
You had attended the public meeting in Oswego, New York, on September 16, 1991, concerning the event of August 13, 1991, at Nine Mile Point Unit 2 and the NRC's evaluation of the unit's readiness for restart. During that meeting you submitted a handwritten note to the NRC panel that requested a public hearirg.
I telephoned you on October 9 to clarify that the public meeting on September 16 in Otwego was, in part, held to receive public comments on the restart of Nine Mile Point Unit 2.
During our telephone conversation, you indicated that y u would appreciate receiving certain documents for your information. These documents are being forwarded as enclosares to this letter and are briefly described below. is a letter dated September 18, 1991, from the Regional Administrator of the NRC's Region 1 to Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. 1his letter released the utilitj for restart of Nire Mile Point Unit 2 and enclosures to the letter describe the NRC reviews and inspecticn activities that supported the restart decision. The Regional Administrator agreed that the unit was readv for restart based on the NRC's review of the steps that the utility had taken to identify and correct problems associated with the event, both in material condition and in administrative controls.
is NRC Region 1 Inspection Report Nos. 30-410/91-81, 50-220/91-19, and 50-410/91-19. These reports document the Restart P.eadiness Assen ment Team inspection during the period September 3 - 16, 1991, and the special Emergency Preparedness inspection that examined actions taken by emergency response organization personnel in response to the August 13, 1991, event. The team focused on the areas of (1) personnel performance, (2) maintenance progr.m effectiveness, and (3) organizational effectiveness. The team found that the enhanced training on uninterruptible power supply operations; the progress in maintenance performance effectiveness; and the corrective actions for the problems identified in the area of organizational effectiveness during the event were good.
The team concluded that the utility had taken sufficient corrective actions based on their review of problems identified during the event to support safe restart of the unit.
The NRC also concluded that the Site Emergency Plan had been ef fectively implemented to protect public health and safety.

The document is the NRC Incident Investigation Team's final report on the event.
The team concluded that the event did not pose a threat to plant safety, because the reactor protection system functioned properly to shut down the reactor.
The event was considered to be significant because of the challenge that it presented to tha operators.
The event was also considered to be significant because of the simaltaneous failure and common-mode vulnerability of the multiple uninterruptible power supplies. The finoings and conclusions of the NRC Incident Invet.hnation Team are presented in Section 8 of NUREG-1455.
