SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF REPLY TO A NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000498/2023003 AND 05000499/2023003)
Dear G. T. Powell:
This letter acknowledges your letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission dated December 12, 2023, which provided a response to the Notice of Violation that was issued in NRC Inspection Report 05000498/2023003 and 05000499/2023003, dated November 13, 2023 (ML23310A228). This Notice of Violation was issued for a violation of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," for the failure to promptly identify and correct conditions adverse to quality for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 essential cooling water expansion joint tolerances, which were not set to comply with design documentation due to incorrect work instructions.
We have reviewed your response and find that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 2.201, Notice of Violation. We have no further questions at this time and will review the implementation of your corrective actions during a future inspection to determine whether full compliance has been achieved and maintained.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely, Patricia J. Vossmar, Chief Reactor Projects Branch A Division of Operating Reactor Safety Docket No: 05000498, 05000499 License No: NPF-76, NPF-80 Signed by Vossmar, Patricia on 12/28/23
