SUBJECT:

FERMI INSPECTION REPORT 50-341/98015(DRP)

Dear Mr. Gipson:

On November 9,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Fermi 2 reactor facility. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. During the 7-week period covered by

this inspection period, your conduct of activities was generally characterized by

safety-conscious operations, sound engineering, and good maintenance practices.

During the inspection, a number of personnel errors occurred during the refueling outage.

Consequently, the station error free clock was reset 11 times during the outage due to -

personnel errors. An example of a personnel error resulted in the issuance of a non-cited

violation for the failure to follow an operating procedure and the deenergizing of an engineored

safety features bus. The inspection also identified a concern regarding the failure to correctly

schedule a surveillance test on the primary containment radiation monitoring system. Your

identification of a failure to perform the surveillance test within the surveillance interval was

determined to be a non-cited violation of the Technical Specifications for the failure to adhere to

the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual requirements. Finally, concerns were identified regarding

the quality of the ma'atenance procedures for the high pressure turbine control valves.

Although these are nasafety-related pieces of equipment, insufficient torque applied to

. portions of the valve linkage resulted in unanticipated cycling of the valve internals during valve

manipulation. The valve cycling caused significant fluctuations in reactor power level and

caused operators to insert manual scrams on two occasions. These concerns indicate that

continued attention is needed to reduce personnel errors and to control maintenance activities.
