SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/92-24

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

August 8 - September 4, 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, two apparent violations were

identified and are being considered for escalated enforcement action in

accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC

Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy), 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C

(57 FR 5791, February 18, 1992).

Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is

presently being issued for these inspection findings.

Please be advised that

the number and characterization of the apparent violations described in the

enclosed inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review.

An enforcement conference to discuss these apparent violations has been

scheduled for September 30, 1992. The purposes of this conference are to

discuss the apparent violations, their cause(s) and safety significance; to

provide you the opportunity to point out any errors in our inspection report;

to provide an opportunity for you to present your proposed corrective

action(s); and to discuss any other information that will help us determine

the appropriate enforcement action in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.

You will be advised by separate correspondence of the results of our

deliberations on this matter. No response regarding these apparent violations

is required at this time.

In addition, the enclosed Inspection Report identifies activities that

violated NRC requirements that will not be subject to enforcement action

because the licensee's efforts in identifying and/or correcting the violation

meet the criteria specified in Section VII.B of the Enforcement Policy.
