SUBJECT:

NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION-REPORT 50-261/97-04

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hinnant

On March 22, 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your H. B. Robinson

reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that

inspection.

During the six-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of

activities at the H. B. Robinson facility was generally characterized by

safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and

careful radiological work controls. We are concerned, however, about one

violation of NRC requirements involving maintenance personnel failure to

follow freeze seal procedures during a service water line repair.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and the

circumstances surrounding the violation are described in detail in the

enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter

and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when

preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to

determine.whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance

with regulatory requirements.
