This event was identified and reported by your staff. The report documenting this inspection was sent to you by letter dated May 6, 1994. As a result of this inspection, a failure to comply with NRC regulatory requirements was identified. An enforcement conference was held on May 16, 1994, in the NRC Region II office, Atlanta, Georgia, with you and members of your staff to include the licensed operator involved in the event to discuss the violation, its cause, and your corrective action to preclude recurrence. The Enforcement Conference Summary was sent to you on May 20, 199 The violation described in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) involved your failure to maintain a licensed operator or senior licensed operator present at the controls during the operation of the facility.
