Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection No. 50-29/88-22 J

This refers to the routine resident safety inspection conducted by Messrs

H. Eichenholz and M. Markley of this office on November 15, 1988 -

January 17,1989, at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Rowe, Massachusetts.

The inspection consisted of observations of activities, interviews with per-

sonnel, independent measurements and document reviews. The results of the

inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection Report enclosed with

this letter and were discussed with Mr. N. St. Laurent of your staff.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that two 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. The violations con-

cern the failure to meet 10 CFR Part 20.203 (c)(1) requirements to conspicu-

ously post a high radiation area, and the failure to meet 10 CFR Part 50,

Appendix B, Criteria XVI requirements for establishing measures that would

ensure the proper documentation and reporting to appropriate levels of manage-

ment of significant conditions adverse to quality involving design

deficiencies.

These violations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for Enforcement Actions", 10 CFR

Part 2, Appendix C. You are required to respond to this letter and, in so

doing, should follow the instructions in Appendix A. However, we note that no

response to Violation A of Appendix A is required because immediate corrective

actions and actions to preclude recurrence were both timely and adequate.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

0.:~ X '
