SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-269/98-04, 50-270/98-04, AND 50-287/98-04

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. McCollum:

The refers to the inspection conducted on March 2-5, 1998, at your Oconee

facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

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, a repeat violation of NRC

requirements was identified and is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation

(Notice). The circumstances surrounding the violation are described in detail

in the enclosed report. The violation is of concern because it is a repeat of

a problem involving failure to secure Safeguards Information.

Please note 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.

Repetitive violations are addressed in the NRC's "Statement of Policy and

Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy), NUREG-1600

Section IV.B. The Enforcement Policy allows the severity level of a violation

to be increased if the violation can be considered repetitive. For example, a

Severity Level IV violation could be increased to Severity Level III with the

attending escalated enforcement action. However, in this case, we have

decided not to increase the severity level of the violation because of the

immediate corrective action that was taken, the low safety significance and

your overall satisfactory performance in this area.
