SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/95-27 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hinnant:

This refers to the inspection conducted on September 17 - October 21, 1995,

for the H. B. Robinson facility. The purpose of the inspection was to

determine whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely

and in accordance with NRC requirements. 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 observations of

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a

violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the

enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it is

described in detail in the subject inspection report. The violation is of

concern because of its similarity to a comparable event involving an

inadequate clearance that occurred on April 17, 1995, during maintenance on

the Steam Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump. The clearance boundary for this

work failed to properly isolate the steam supply to the Steam Driven Auxiliary

Feedwater Pump resulting in an inadvertent start. Both of these issues

involved improper clearance preparation. We consider the effectiveness of

corrective actions for the previous event to be incomplete due to the

similarity to the clearance problems identified in this report. The licensee

is urged to investigate the root cause for the EDG's unexpected start event in

order to address effective corrective action.

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. Your response may reference or

include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately

addresses the required response. 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.
