SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/90-34, 50-270/90-34 AND
50-287/90-34
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
inspection conducted by
the resident inspectors on December 2 - December 31,
1990.
The inspection
included a review of activities authorized for your Oconee 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.
The enclosed inspection report discusses a violation due to an inadequate 1979
design evaluation associated with the high pressure injection system.
This
problem was identified in November 1990,
by an alert Design Engineer in
response to a Self Initiated Technical Audit (SITA) finding.
The SITA program
was instituted as part of the corrective actions for a design deficiency
addressed in an NRC enforcement action (EA 88-317) issued December 30,
1988,
and is being implemented on a pre-defined schedule to systematically identify
and correct design related problems.
One of the purposes of the NRC Enforcement Policy is to encourage and support
licensee initiatives for self-identification and correction of problems. After
consultation with the Director, Office of Enforcement, and the Deputy Executive
Director for Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Regional Operations and Research, I
have decided to apply the enforcement discretion described in Section V.G.5 of
the Enforcement Policy, and refrain from taking additional enforcement action
in this case.
Therefore, a Notice of Violation will not be issued in this
instance.
.
In
accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and its enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
