SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/94-01, 50-270/94-01 AND

50-287/94-01)

This refers to the inspection conducted by P. E. Harmon of this office on

January 2 through January 29, 1994. 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 you did not require

adequate procedural guidance or oversight of vendor installation of steam

generator tube plugs, an activity important to safety.

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 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 the NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.970 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
