SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/94-13
This refers to the inspection conducted by W. T. Orders of this office on
April 22 through April 29, 1994. 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, an apparent violation of NRC
requirements was identified and is being considered for escalated enforcement
action in accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for
NRC Enforcement Action" (Enforcement Policy), 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C. The
apparent violation involves an event which occurred on April 22, 1994, in
which the licensed operator assigned to man the at-the-controls area of the
control room briefly left this area when the facility was operating at 100%
power. Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is presently being issued for
these inspection findings. In addition, please be advised that the number and
characterization of apparent violations described in the enclosed inspection
report may change as a result of further NRC review.
An enforcement conference to discuss this apparent violation has been
scheduled for May 16, 1994, at 1:00 p.m. The decision to hold an enforcement
conference does not mean that the NRC has determined that a violation has
occurred or that enforcement action will be taken. The purposes of this
conference are to discuss the apparent violation, its cause and safety
significance, to provide you the opportunity to point out any errors in our
inspection report, and to provide an opportunity for you to present your
proposed corrective actions. In addition, this is an opportunity for you to
provide any information concerning your perspectives on 1) the severity of the
violation, 2) the application of the factors that the NRC considers when it
determines the amount of a civil penalty that may be assessed in accordance
with Section VI.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy, and 3) any other application of

the Enforcement Policy to this case, including the exercise of discretion in

You will be advised by separate correspondence
of the results of our deliberations in this matter. No response regarding the
apparent violation is required at this time.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
