SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-261/94-07)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
L. Mellen and others on March 14-25, 1994. The inspection included a review
of activities authorized for your H. B. Robinson Unit 2. 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. Within the scope of this inspection, four violations were
identified.
We are concerned with the apparent breakdown in oversight and emphasis in the
development and implementation of the Emergency Operating Procedures.
Specifically, our concerns pertained to the lack of quality assurance
involvement, procedural guidance that permits deviating from the approved
mitigation strategy, lack of rigor during the verification and validation
process, and failure to adequately resolve previously identified inspection
findings in this area.
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 take 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 Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
