(NRC Inspection Report No. 50-344/92-32)
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. R. C. Barr, J. F. Melfi,
and K. E. Johnston of this office on October 27 through December 7, 1992.
The inspection included a review of activities authorized by NRC License No.
NPF-1. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with
those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during this inspection are identified in the enclosed report.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of
procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel and
observations by the inspectors.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation-(Notice).
These violations involved contract personnel exceeding
Technical Specifications limitations on overtime work, inadequate access
controls for the Trojan issue warehouse, and inadequate corrective actions and
reporting related to identified leakage of containment airlock door ecualizing
valves.
Three non-cited violations are also discussed in the enclosec inspec-
tion report, consistent with Section VII.B of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
We
encourage you to strengthen your oversight of contractor activities that can
affect the performance of safety related equipment, and to assure that your
contractors establish adequate procedures and administrative controls.
Our inspectors also observed excellent response by your plant operators to the
November 9,1992, steam generator (SG) tube leak.
The operators correctly and
rapidly responded to plant indications and followed emergency procedures.
Their expeditious shutdown and depressurization of the reactor was very
timely, allowing only a very minor release of radioactivity.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing your response to this
