NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(INSPECTION REPORT NOS.

50-269/92-11,

50-270/92-11 AND

50-287/92-11)

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. P. E. Harmon

during the period April 26 - May 23, 1992.

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.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain activities

appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in

the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The violation is of

concern because it involves lack of attention to detail on behalf

of licensed personnel in performing activities associated with

reactivity management.

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. 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice",

a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document Room.
