AFR 2 31993
Docket No. 50-443
Mr. Ted C. Feigenbaum
Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer
North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation
Post Office Box 300
Seabrook, New Hampshire 03874
Dear Mr. Fcigenbaum:
SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-443/93-05
This letter transmits the report of the safety inspection findings of the resident staff at
Seabrook Station for the period of March 2 through April 5,1993. The inspection consisted
of document reviews, personnel interviews, and observations of activities important to the
health and safety of the public. The inspector discussed the findings with Mr. W. DiProfio
and members of your staff after the inspection.
Overall, this inspection found that activities were conducted safely. In particular, your
actions before and during the March 13-14 blizzard were excellent.
One engineering activity was in violation of regulatory requirements. Your staff approved a
change to the design basis tornado dcscribed in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report
(UFSAR) without completing a safety evaluation or updating the UFSAR. Your subsequent
evaluations were thorough and concluded that there were no unreviewed safety questions.
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation.
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. You should
also address why the non::onforming condition of the tornado doors was not immediately
reported. After reviewing your response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective
actions and the results of future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC
enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.-
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
