SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/95-06, 50-270/95-06 AND

50-287/95-06)

Gentlemen:

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

March 26 - April 29, 1995. 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 indicates that

Keowee has not been fully integrated into Oconee nuclear operations.

The violation described in the enclosed Notice is similar to a violation

contained in the Notice sent to you by our letter dated July 20, 1993.

Recurring violations are of particular concern because the NRC expects

licensees to learn from their past failures and to take effective corrective

actions. Although NRC does not normally consider monetary civil penalties for

Severity Level IV violations, the Enforcement Policy states that such

penalties may be imposed for Severity Level IV violations that are similar to

previous violations for which the licensee did not take effective corrective

action. In this case, we have decided not to hold an enforcement conference

nor to propose a civil penality because the maximum Keowee load limit was not

exceeded.

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.
