Docket No. 50-247

Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

ATTN: Mr. Murray Selman

Vice President, Nuclear Power

Indian Point Station

Broadway and Bleakley Avenues

Buchanan, New York 10511

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection No. 50-247/86-28

This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. Lawrence W. Rossbach

and Mr. Peter W. Kelley of this office on October 14, 1986 to November 21,

1986 at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 2, Buchanan, New York

of activities authorized by NRC License No. OPR-26, and to the discussions of

our findings held by Mr. L. Rossbach with you and your staff at the conclusion

of the inspection.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the report enclosed

with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with

personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that several of your

activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set

forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. These vio-

lations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the General

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, 10 CFR Part 2,

Appendix C (Enforcement Policy 1986). You are required to respond to this

letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in

Appendix A.

Of particular concern to us is the post-maintenance test issue identified

during this inspection. Testing performed after modifications failed to detect

that the capability of the auxiliary feedwater system had been significantly

degraded as a result of the modifications. While these particular items have

been corrected, your response should address actions taken to evaluate the

effect of this practice on other plant systems and components.
