ATTN: Mr. William D. Harrington

Vice President, Nuclear

Boston, Massachusetts 02199

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

INSPECTION NO. 50-193/85-35

Enclosed is the report of the team inspection conducted by Mr. R. C. Wilson

and other NRC representatives on December 9 to 13, 1985, at your Braintree

engineering offices and the 'ilgrim Nuclear Power Station of activities

authorized by NRC License No. OPR-35.

The team's findings were discussed with

you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection. The

inspection reviewed your implementation of a program as required by 10 CFR 50.49 for establishing and maintaining the qualification of electric equipment

within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49. Within these areas, the inspection consisted

!

of examinations of selected procedures and records, interviews with personnel,

and observations by the inspectors.

The inspection determined that you have implemented a program to meet the

requirements of 10 CFR 50.49. Two deficiencies in your program implementation,

summarized in Appendix A, are classified as Potential Enforcement / Unresolved

Items and will be referred to the NRC Region I office for further action.

These deficiencies involve failure to fully document the qualification of

'

Barton 288A main steam flow switches and General Electric EB-25 terminal

blocks. Three additional concerns are classified as Open Items, and a

future.NRC inspection will review your actions concerning them.

Details

of all the deficiencies and concerns are discussed in the enclosed

inspection report.

Your corrective actions regarding the identified deficiencies and concerns

should not-be delayed pending either a future NRC inspection or further action

by the NRC Region I office.
