SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/94-21 AND MANAGEMENT MEETING

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. T. W. Pruett and others of this

office on November 13 through December 24, 1994, and the management meeting

held onsite on December 20, 1994. The inspection included a review of

activities authorized for your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3

facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed

with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report. The

management meeting included an update on the implementation of your corrective

action program and the results of your review of operational performance

during recent reactivity events. The meeting summary is discussed in

Section 10 of the attached report and the meeting slides are provided in

Attachment 3 to the 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. The results of this inspection are documented in the

enclosed report.

During this inspection period, your staff identified one violation involving  ;

the failure to adequately perform the largest single load reject test of the

emergency diesel generators. However, this violation has not been cited

because the criteria in paragraph VII.B.1 of Appendix C to 10 CFR Part 2 of

the NRC's " Rules of Practice," were satisfied. You are commended for

identifying and taking proactive and thorough corrective actions for this

violation.

The inspection also identified discernable improvement in the Operations,

Maintenance, and Plant Support areas which indicated that effective corrective

actions have been taken in response to NRC and licensee-identified concerns.

Specifically, operators were responsive to mormal operating conditions

affecting the feedwater and pressurizer syt .as and improved log keeping

practices. Maintenance personnel significantly improved cleanliness and

foreign material exclusion controls and showed excellent judgement when tasks

could not be completed as planned. Additionally, health physics personnel

demonstrated excellent radiological protection oversight skills during the

performance of maintenance and surveillance tests.

The inspector's review of on-line maintenance indicated that scheduling

department practices were effective in providing a conservative approach to

probabilistic risk assessment.
