License No. DPR-72

Vice President Nuclear Operations

ATTN: Manager, Nuclear Licensing

P. O. Box 219

Crystal River, FL 32629

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-302/88-09

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by

L. Lawyer on March 28 - April 8,1988.

The inspection included a review of

Emergency Operating Procedures for your Crystal River facility.

At the

conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members

of your staff identified in the enclosed inspection report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.

Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress. No violations or deviations were identified.

Although numerous deficiencies were identified, the Emergency Operating

Procedures were found to be adequate for continued operation of the facility.

Whfin none 'of the individual deficiencies observed during this inspection

and occumented in this report are identified as violations or deviations,

the large number of them reduces the margin of safety by placing unnecessary

demands on the operators.

To restore this margin of safety, prompt correc-

tive action is appropriate.

As discussed during the exit meeting following

the inspection and subsequent telephone conversations with this office, we

understand that Florida Power Corporation will review the individual deft-

ciencies noted in this report and take prompt corrective action to resolve

them on a prioritized schedule.

This review and corrective action will

specifically address identification and elimination of potential programmatic

weaknesses.

In particular, the review and corrective action will assure

that Shift Operation Technical Advisors have the ability to perform assigned

functions.

In addition, we understand that the technical bases for differences

between the Crystal River Abnonnal Transient Operating Guidelines and Emergency

Operating Procedures are not documented.

Your corrective action should include

establishing Pis documentation.

As we have discussed, you will meet with us

in Atlanta on June 29,1988, at 1:00 p.m. to discuss your progress and schedule

for completing this action.

The enclosed inspection report documents additional conmittrents (see para-

graphs 5, 6, and 8; Appendices B, C, and D) made by a licensee representative

and discussed in the exit meeting.

If your understanding of the commitments

described in this letter or the enclosed repurt differs from ours, please
