SUBJECT:
(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-269/87-49, 50-270/87-49 AND 50-287/87-49)
This refers to the NRC inspection conducted by the resident inspectors on
November 20 -
December 7, 1987. 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 inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate
NRC requirements. The violation, references to pertinent requirements,
and
elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice
of Violation. The violation is cited as a Severity Level IV rather than Level
III because,
included in the FSAR analysis of fuel handling accidents, it is
shown that had an accident occurred it
would be bounded by the analysis, and
doses at the site boundary would have remained below the limits of 10 CFR 100
even had there been no containment building.
Therefore, the
safety
significance that would have required escalated enforcement did not exist.
In the description of the event we note problems in management controls, which
should have prevented this occurrence. Therefore, your response to this notice
of violation should include your actions to correct the management control
deficiencies as well as the other elements listed in the violation.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
