Overall, we noted Improved procedure usage and adherence by both operations and

standby systems was also noted.

However, a violation of NRC requirements was identified during this inspection. The

violation involved a failure to perform, as required by technical specifications, monthly

relay testing of essential bus loadshed and emergency diesel generator start functions.

Although NRC-identified, we recognize that your staff took prompt and appropriate

corrective action once the problem was identified to them. We also acknowledge the fact

that you are implementing a systematic review of technical specification related

instrumentation in response to NRC Generic Letter 96-01, by which similar problems

should be identified and corrected.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and the circumstances

surrounding the violation are described in detailin the enclosed report. The NRC has

concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions /

taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is already adequately

addressed on the docket in the attached report. Therefore, you are not required to

respond to this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your

corrective actions or your position on this matter. In that case, or if you choose to provide

additional information, you should follow the instructions in the enclosed Notice.
