Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRC Region I Inspection Report No. 50-293/88-21, Integrated
Assessment Team Inspection
This refers to the Integrated Assessment Team Inspection (IATI) led by
Mr. A. Randy Blough of this office on August 8-24, 1988, at the' Pilgrim
Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The results of the
inspection are documer;ted in the enclosed inspection report. At the conclusion
of the inspection, an exit interview was held with you and members of your
staff to discuss the scepe and the findings of the inspection.
The purpose of this inspection was to perform an independent, in-deoth assess-
ment of the readiness of management controls, programs, and personnel to sup-
i
port safe restart and operation of the facility. The inspection Team performed
i
an integrated evaluation of various functional areas, including operations,
'
maintenance, surveillance, radiation protection, security, training, fire pro-
tection, and assurance of quality.
Within those areas, the inspection con-
l
sisted of interviews with personnel, obs(rvations of plant activities,. and
.
selective examinations of procedures, records, and documents by the inspectors.
(
Within the scope of its review, the Team concluded with high confidence that
Bor, ton Edison Company (BECo) management controls, programs, and personnel are
generally ready and performing at a level to support safe startup and operation
of the facility.
Those technical items requiring resolution or completion
.
'
prior to restart are bei.ig addressed and tracked by BECo. The Team identified
a relatively small number of additional items for which actions or evaluations
.
appear appropriate; BECo has made commitments in those areas, as detailed in
i
section 2.4 of the enclosed report.
As a result of this inspection, the
'
Team concluded that there are currently no fundamental
flaws
in BEco's
'
,
management
structure,
management
performance,
programs,
or
program
'
i
implementation that would inhibit its ability to assure reactor or public
safety during plant operation.
