SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/96-05,
50-270/96-05 AND 50-287/96-05
Dear Mr. Hampton:
This refers to the special inspection conducted on March 16 -
23, 1996, at the
Oconee facility. The purpose of the inspection was to review the
circumstances surrounding the Unit 3 reactor trip event on March 16, 1996. At
the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed 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, 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 are
described in detail in the subject inspection report.
The violation is of
concern because the required 10 CFR 50.72 report submitted by your staff was
both late and inadequate in describing the event and the circumstances
involved. The NRC relies on the accuracy and timeliness of these reports for
an initial evaluation of the significance of events.
The report addressed in
the enclosed Notice was not adequate to allow such an evaluation.
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 the NRC regulatory'requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter, its enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room (PDR).
To the extent possible, your response should not
include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that
it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
