SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/94-16)

This refers to the inspection conducted by W. T. Orders of this office on

May 22 - June 24, 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, certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice).

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.

Also identified in this report are three apparent violations of NRC

requirements which are 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 violations involve a failure to take adequate corrective action

pertaining to issues identified by a contractor, inadequate testing of the

control room ventilation system, and inadequate corrective actions pertaining

.

to a main steam isolation valve design deficiency.

An enforcement conference to discuss these apparent violations has been

scheduled for July 26, 1994. 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 violations, the cause and safety significance, to provide

you the opportunity to point out any errors in our inspection report, and to

provide you the opportunity 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 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 accordance with Section VII of the

Enforcement Policy. You will be advised in separate correspondence of the

results of our deliberations on this matter. No response regarding these

apparent violations is required at this time.

This enforcement conference will be closed to public observation.

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.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.
