NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/92-02)

This refers to the inspection conducted by L. W. Garner of this office on

January 14,

1992 -

February 7, 1992.

The inspection included a review of

activities authorized for your H. B. Robinson facility.

At the conclusion of

the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff

identified in the enclosed inspection report.

Areas examined during -the inspection are identified in the report.

Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records,

interviews with personnel,

and observation of

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to

be in violation of NRC requirements,

as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice).

We are concerned about the violation because personnel

failed to recognize the effect that substituting a test methodology other than

that specified in inservice test procedures would have on the operability of

primary sample containment isolation valves.

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. 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 enclosure(s) will be placed in the NRC Public Document

Room.
